The New Yorker, A Wyndham Hotel

Fabulous central location. Close to downtown Manhattan with good subway connections. Lobby area and reception very 1920s, with iconic art deco chandeliers and decor. Very comfortable pillows and beds. Friendly staff in Trattoria Bianca restaurant with tasty food and good selection of dishes. Fridge in room was a good size and useful for chilling drinks etc. Constant hot water and powerful shower. Business centre was useful for printing off boarding passes etc.and open 24-7.

Great hotel in a perfect location with helpful staff. However being charged $5 per bag to store luggage before check in and after checkout is an effrontery. The price of hotels in New York is expensive enough that this should not be included as a separate item.

Perfect if you want to take the train on the next day.

Location, price, hotel decor

The New Yorker is a lovely art deco hotel with some interesting history. The staff were excellent and the room was great as a room. The bed was incredibly comfortable and a nice size for my partner and myself. There were plenty of pillows and the duvet was nice and warm. The bathroom had a bath with a shower, which had excellent pressure, but the temperature was not stable and would change frequently as we showered. There was a wardrobe and chest of drawers, which provided plenty of space for both our clothes. There was a safe, iron and ironing board. There was no kettle, tea or coffee making facilities. The room itself wasn't massive, but it wasn't hugely cramped either. The hotel had several eating places, and we used the Tick Tock Diner that was open 24/7, and we would highly recommend it. The hotel was right next to Penn Station and if you are happy to walk, not far from the Empire State Building and Macy's.
