The Belvedere Hotel

Dirty and outdated

Fordeler: The location is great it's a short walk to time square and theaters. The doormen were always friendly. The bed wasn't the best or the worst as far as comfort.

Ulemper: It was outdated and not clean. My shower vent had black dust bunnies clogging it, there were stains and mold in the tub and along the walls, and the shower curtain was stained. The bathroom was extremely small, and we were never given enough towels. We were charged for an extra person in the room, who was my 15 year old daughter, and yet there were two double beds which clearly could sleep 4. The elevators were broken half the time. I wouldn't stay here again, I thought I was booking a more upscale hotel for the price, and I was sorely mistaken.

Belevedere Stay was So/So

Fordeler: Staff was polite and easy to work wjth

Ulemper: Boiler maintenance was being performed during our stay and hot water was shut off during peak shower periods. I would've expected this to be performed when people sleep to avoid customer disruptions. The adjoining restaurant does not prefer hotel customers and actually locks the door between the two facilities.

Four star location, two,star quality

Fordeler: Hotel has no ambience, no place to sit and relax outside the room. No lounge or fireplace, no lobby bar, no hotel restaurant. Rooms are decent size, but bedding is thin and uncomfortable, air conditioning/ heating is difficult to control, rooms are separated from one long noisy corridor by thin doors. Housekeeping is great, but very noisy if you are on anything but PST and want to sleep past 730AM. The breakfast "cafe" is a single basement common room where you self serve a mediocre breakfast, even coffee and juice from dispensing machines. Whoever owns this hotel cares little about the guest experience, period. That is evident from the basic design of EVERYTHING. But Hotel location is good. If you must stay here, get a room on the north side facing the back of the "tenements" on 49th. A little kid babble from those homes is better than listening to police and fire sirens all night.

Ulemper: Pretty much everything could be improved except the location.
