The Beekman Tower Hotel - New York

We first thought the location of the hotel would be a bit outside walking distance to main Manhattan attractions, however it was only a 10-15 minute walk straight along 49th street to Times Square, perfect location as great views of the East river, close to all amenities and quieter in the evening to the busier areas. Rooms were clean and tidy and had all the facilities required for the week. Housekeeping ensured clean towels daily. Hotel arranged transport to airport on our departure which was very reasonably priced, all staff were polite and courteous and ready to answer any queries. Would definitely recommend for a stay in New York.

This is a lovely hotel. The staff are friendly and they helpfully let me store my baggage with them for two days after I checked out while I was making a little trip outside NYC. The only thing to improve things would be some kind of duvet / comforter on the bed, which is covered only with sheets. Maybe I'm just being European, but I'd rather have some decent bedding than have to sleep in a room with the heating cranked up high. And of course if the heating in your particular room has problems.....

The room was huge, location great (near UN) but the shades were torn, couldn't close them to keep out morning sun, blinds in bathroom were shredding, mattress was old, droopy. Mold and rust in bathroom

Overall, our experience was satisfactory. It did take 3 calls and 1 trip to the front desk to finally get a hair dryer in our room and I even placed a call to the hotel before I left on my trip asking if there would be a hair dryer in the room and was told "yes". There was no heat and it was chilly at night. We were told they had turned off the heat and then gave us extra blankets. On the plus side, the staff was very friendly, the concierge very helpful and the location was perfect. We would stay again.

This hotel is very clean with a professional staff, from the doorman, valet, front desk and waiters and waitreess in the restaurant. The room was well appointed with a view of the East River. Location was excellant within walking distance to Fifth Avenue, Central Park and Threatre District. The price was right also. Thank you.

Staff tries very hard to accommodate their guests in every request. Rooms are average for Manhattan and very clean. Bed is quite comfortable. Heating system next to bed is somewhat cumbersome and not easy to adjust. Overall a comfortable room and a good value. I would probably stay there again.

The Beekman Tower offered a four-room suite at a great price. The place is old and needs an update, but I was very satisfied with the value, the location and having plenty of room to spread out.

...A great difference from the hotels regular price and the actual price that I received throught Hotels.com ! Thanks for your good work.

Excellent location, near major points of interest, but in a quiet neighborhood.

For the money, an excellent find. We had stayed in the Pod previously which was fine but cramped. Just down the road is this place with a suite costing not much more than a Pod room. Yes it is a tad old fashioned but I like the lived in feel... its more like a friend's flat you are borrowing reather than a hotel. I shall certainly be staying there again...

We had booked a studio suite for 5 nights. The first night we checked in around 9:00 p.m. and they gave us a small suite which the A/C did not work. We were able to get a upgrade to a larger suite with no extra cost. The staff was friendly and helpful, but we did have trouble with housekeeping getting us toilet paper and extra towels. It took over 30 minutes when the desk told us it would be right up. Other than that the stay was pretty wonderful. Especially like having a kitchen which saved us on some meals.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Beekman Tower. Its old and it isn't a four star hotel, but its clean, well located, and the staff was friendly and accomodating.

not a clean room, towels were dirty, internet that was charged was not functioning well

The room was great. Always clean, can tell its older but it's still a nice hotel. It's not as close to everything as we thought. Times Square about 20+ min walk.

very private

A beautiful gem of an art deco building, this hotel was quite a find for the price in Manhattan. We felt we were off the beaten path on 1st Avenue near the UN (read that as kind of quiet), but certainly close enough to all the mass transit we needed to get around and, of course, God bless NY, cabs are always plentiful. The room was comfortable but needs a major refresh. Still, the little kitchen was an unexpected plus. The surprise at this hotel was the really helpful and kind front desk staff. I'm always ready for brusk service in Manhattan so I was really pleased to encounter the ladies at Registration. They were fun, helpful and made for a great introduction to NYC. I would be happy to go back to this little surprise.

A little bit out of the way, but if that's not a factor, it is a nice quiet accommodation with the bonus of a kitchen if you have dietary restrictions and you want to prepare some meals in.

We stayed in this hotel a few years ago and it was very nice. Since then it has gone down hill. The room we checked into had bukeling carpets a tiny bed. We ended up paying for an upgrade.

Full kitchen, dining table, tv in bedroom and living room, lots of restaurants and a 24 hour deli across the street. They did not have our room ready at 3pm, but gave us a free upgrade. Not as close to subway as we would have liked, but bus goes right by. Very quiet hotel.

This hotel was recommended to me by a friend living in the area. What a nice surprise! Large Jr. Suites in an historic building in a great location. Even though the hotel is old it has been very well maintained and my room was absolutely spotless. I saw absolutely no evidence of the mice described by other reviewers and I looked for it. Neighborhood was very safe, slightly away from the chaos that is most of mid-town Manhattan. I haven't found a better value for the money anywhere in NYC and I will certainly stay at the Beekman again.

The staff was very accommodating to changes we needed in the room.

Large, comfortable room in a nice, art-deco hotel. The 2 large windows could be opened, so no need for air-conditioning at night. Very convenient to have small kitchen. Excellent bargain.

Very well maintained hotel with small front desk, lobby but with friendly and helpful staff. Transportation on corner (bus) and taxis out front. Three elevator banks for swift service. Top floor (26th) bar and restaurant open for Breakfast and Dinner. A good deli is across the street with hot/cold take out food as well as other necessities. Wireless internet costs $9.95 per 24hrs. Individual A/C controls in each room. Nice residential area but quite a walk to theaters and midtown shops.

This is the 4th time I've stayed and love it. The hotel is old, but very clean. The kitchen is a wonderful plus. Keeps costs down as well. The rooftop bar has a great view and martinis! The neighborhood is safe to walk around, convenient and full of pubs.

I read the reviews of this hotel and decided to take a chance on it, since it was in the neighborhood where I would be working for a week. Am I glad I did! I loved my little apartment with its full kitchen. How nice to not have to go out for breakfast every day. I was able to save money by eating in and packing a lunch with all kinds of exotic goodies from a nearby shop (the hotel is very close to the United Nations). This hotel is an old Deco building with an interesting history. The hotel is very comfortable and not at all trendy (translation: closets that you can actually hang more than three things in...) The furniture and carpeting are a bit worn, but everything is kept very clean. And the windows open! I only had coffee at the rooftop restaurant, but the views are great and you can even sit at an outside table. Very nice indeed. I will definitely stay here again when I am in New York on business.

I know mice, i know rats. There was a mouse, so there were probably mice. Never saw a rat. "secutity" doubted i'd seen a mouse. Staff , even security, were a1. Can only shine a ,,.....and it's still a ,.... I wouldn't reccomend this hotel without a written guarantee there won't be mice an if there are, no charge. Spend an extra few $s and have fun in the city at another hotel.

It was a little dated, but very clean. We felt safe and the surrounding area was very nice. We would definately stay there agian.

the hotel is great. The location is way east,but 1/2 block to a crosstown bus stop. The room was huge (I was upgraded to a suite). The linens were clean but should be retired. They've seen much use. I had a room on the 12th flr. with East River views.

We had stayed i n this hotel years ago and liked it. Sadly it has been allowed to go down hill. We checked in to what they told us at the desk was an updated suite. The bed was a double the carpets were lifting off the floor so we paid $70 per night additional for a suite with a King size bed. We had to call housekeeping everyday to make the room. There was evidence of rodents in the kitchen . I will never go back!

The building needs to be remodeled. The rooms need to be remodeled. The staff need to be remodeled. It was sort of clean, but still didnt feel like I recieved enough ROI. I would not recommend this place for romance, jus a place to stay the night.

Judging by the photographs published online of the Beekman Towers, and even the quality of the lobby when we first entered, we would have though we got a good deal for our money. However, once we saw the room, we knew we had been duped. The worst part is you just felt the room was dirty, everywhere. You didn't want to touch anything. There was only a lamp in our bedroom, and it was broken. The vanity in the bathroom was warped, and full of mildew. The bed was the single most uncomfortable bed I had ever slept in. The mattress was a spring-loaded joke, and they "ran out of pillows" on Saturday night. The staff were all very nice, and helpful, but for your money, spend $50 more and stay in a comfortable hotel.

This was a hotel.com feature hotel and the price had that "too good to be true" look for NYC. I am so glad I stayed here. The suite size was very good for anywhere else but GREAT for NYC. Staff was very nice. Only a few blocks from the subway and Grand Central. It was Valentines weekend and the restaurant was booked. But it's NYC so lots of other choices are nearby. Awesome Hotel if you like to spread out.

If you don't mind older accomodations, the Beekman is a great choice. Once an apartment building, it offers huge suites (including small kichen) at a really affordable price, especially for NYC. Near the UN, the views are fabulous, especially from the top floor bar/restaurant. Personnel were terrific. Will look forward to a repeat visit.

Good value for the money. Rooms definitely need updating - dark and old carpets. Rooms had problems with heating system - couldn't get room thermostat to work so room got to 85 degrees at night. Fortunately staff was very accomodating and tried to make up for problem with upgraded room (suite) which was much appreciated. Rooms all good size. If they brightened up rooms and replaced carpets it would be outstanding.

its a bit of a walk from the 6 train even more so to the A train.. but if you dont mind walking a mile or two (and its new york so you shouldnt) this is a good spot. the only issue id have to say i had was a minor one and it was with the cleaning staff. they would come and knock and ask if it was alright if they cleaned... shouldnt they know the answer will always be no? that they should wait til the occupants leave? other than that it was fine. id stay there again.

this hotel was well located for us because we had an event on the east side but it is not that near subways. Our suite had small bedroom and bath but nice sized living room while my daughter's suite had nice side bedroom and larger kitchen. Value was good and the upstairs restaurant bar had terrific views! Staff was accommodating. WOuld recommend if someone wanted kitchen facilites and location was convenient for them.

Great deal for the money. Staff very courteous. Furnishings a bit dated, but suite very clean.

great room for the money. excellent bed and pillows. pet friendly. kitchenette a big plus. lots of restaurants around excellent location

Was hesitant about trying this hotel but got a good deal and glad we did try it.....great location and a fairly scenic view of the East River, with the Queensburough Bridge as part of that view. Only downs for us were the bathroom was way too small for our needs, and I requested smoking and could not get it, but to make up for it we went to the top of the tower lounge and was facinated with the view....Staff at checkin was not very friendly but the Maintenance man that came up to shut our window was very nice.
