Roger Smith Hotel

Hi! We had booked 4 days at Roger Smith this August. My travel agent recommended it to me as, he said, it is good. We went there and when we arrived the first thing we thougth was: "this hotel seems noisy". Asked for a quiet room and they said we had a very nice and quiet room. Well, we couldn't sleep. Next morning we asked to be switched to another room and they did. We couldn't sleep neither. We went to another hotel. Please, don't go to Roger Smith if you want to sleep.

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in August 2007. Arrived at the hotel earlier in the day and was allowed to store my luggage until the room was ready in the afternoon, however, did get in earlier than the advertised check in. Upon check in, the hotel staff advised that they had upgraded my reservation (I had originally booked a standard queen room) to a suite on a higher floor free of charge! The suite was located on one of the higher floors and although it didn't have a really great view, it was amazing inside. The room itself was... more

I liked it. Kind of reminds me of a B&B-type room. It was very cozy.

Wonderful experience throughout. Stayed 3 nights in standard queen room on 9th floor overlooking Lexington Ave. Boutique-type hotel with spacious rooms (for NYC) and most comfortable furnishings and bedding. Modern bathroom facilities including marble throughout, heated towel racks, phone, whirlpool tub, absorbant (and plentiful) towels. Continental breakfast nice touch (and rare in NYC) for a quick bite on mornings you don't feel like treking out to a restaurant for full breakfast. Friendly staff throughtout (we arrived 9AM and... more

what a great hotel for location, cleanliness, staff. It is so close to grand central so great for getting around. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a great location and good value. Visit Empire state building at night- you will not be disappointed, worth the wait. Go to the Top of the Rock at Rockeffeler Centre in the day, you get a great view of Central Park and Empire state building. Its not as busy as empire so can get to the top quickly, no queues. Make sure you skate in central park, visit dakota... more

I stayed at this hotel for a few days before departing on a cruise, and chose it because it was one of the cheaper options downtown. While I was leary of the hotel at first because of the price, I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is in a very central location within walking distance to major sites. The rooms were very, very large by New York standards, and were immaculately cleaned and welcoming. The hotel staff was fantastic, friendly, and very helpful, and is a great bar on the main level where I had a few very good martinis. The... more

The senseless and callous display of "Art" daring to compare itself with and/or to our beloved Redeemer will forever -- and I do mean forever -- render our experience with this immoral and self-depreciating canon of trash as inexcusable poly-rot! We will never again subject ourselves to this godforsaken delerium of profanity. Never again! Never!

For the price the Roger Smith must be the best hotel in New York we stayed for 8 nights and had great service. The rooms were a good size and always clean The location is perfect for getting around and you can walk to most of the main areas, being so close to Grand central means the subway is close by aswell

I saw a deal for the Roger Smith on a website whilst searching for available hotels and after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor I decided to book directly on the hotel website in November which was offering the same deal. We got a rate of $189 prpn exc tax inc continental breakfast for a Junior Suite and $159 for a double/double room. On arriving at the hotel late on Thursday night and in a snow storm we were greeted by the Duty Manager Kucuk who explained that there was a problem and the hotel was overbooked. He asked if the 4 of us... more

I booked @ the Roger Smith after looking on TripAdvisor where it had fair reviews. March 8th was not only my birthday but also my 38th wedding aniversery so the trip was planned with two friends. I made contact via e-mail with the Hotel to tell them of my celibrations and to ask if they could arrange for some flowers for my wife. Well the Roger Smith were outstanding, the rooms were very large, nice and warm ( we landed in a snow storm ). a bottle of a very nice complementry red wine greeted us. And yes the flowers arrived promt on the... more
