Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Blakely New York Hotel is appreciated for its superb location, just a short walk from Central Park and with convenient access to subway lines like W/Q/R/N for exploring the city. The spacious rooms often include a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave, which guests find useful. Bathrooms are also notably roomy, some featuring sizable bathtubs. While most find it a great value, a few guests have occasionally noted issues such as cracks in the bathtub.

dated room poor insulation

however, the room felt quite dated. i could easily hear conversations from both the hallway and adjacent rooms (even with the tv off). it felt as if the walls provided little sound insulation.

The location offered convenient access. A subway station nearby provided quick transportation (making it easy to explore). The room included a refrigerator and a microwave. This made storing and preparing snacks simple.

The gym was smaller than I expected.
