The Algonquin hotel is OLD, and they seem proud of it. The decor is all turn-of-the-century (20th) themed. For those who are into that sort of thing, it's probably a great hotel. The rooms were actually more nicely appointed than I thought they would be, although I still wouldn't write home. There was an LCD flat panel TV, probably about... more

The service was very good, but the rooms are small. Because I had one child with me for only one of the two nights, I requested two beds. The only two bedded rooms are twin beds. They ended up upgrading us to a king bed, but was disappointed with the size of the room and the inability to accomodate my... more

We just returned from a four night stay at THE ALGONQUIN in New York ... we absolutely loved it!! The room was perfect, the bed is very comfortable (heavenly) ... The hotel staff are very accomodating - we requested a fridge, and within minutes got it. Jenny (at the front desk) is very friendly. The hotel is in a great... more

I'm not kidding. I woke up at 6:45am to the miserable sensation of my room shaking and looked out the window, bleary-eyed, directly down into a massive construction pit. It was so horrible it was almost funny. We had wondered about the earplugs on the bedside table...Some of the rooms facing the other direction are probably fine, but I felt... more

Stayed at The Algonquin with my partner on a work trip, mostly because its location was convenient for the work purpose of the trip. Can't say a lot of wonderful things - it has ts charms, but it's mostly running on its historic interest. Alas, Dorothy Parker's time has passed, and The Algonquin has done little to keep up with... more

We just returned from a weeks stay at the Algonquin in NYC. This hotel is wonderful! The Algonquin is truly a historic hotel, with a fantastic location. The rooms are small, however, remember this is a historic hotel and it's NYC--you don't find large rooms in the city. Our room was extremely clean and the beds very comfortable. The staff... more

I just returned home from a Holiday Weekend in New York. We stayed at the Algonquin for 3 nights over the Memorial Day weekend. We were greeted by an average bellman who did not say hello or welcome or anything. He just opened to door. While waiting to check in, we were greeted by a very cold staff at the... more
