living hell at the WJ hotel
Don't make the mistake of staying at the WJ hotel on W.51st . The rooms were tiny, the noise terrible, the ventiliation non-existent and the staff rude. To make matters worse, there aren't even any ice machines, coffee machines or drink machines anywhere in the place. There is no room service (contrary to the info I was given)and hotels.com was not the least bit bothered by any of the misleading info they posted. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere or don't go at all.
very disappointed
We have just returned from our 2nd trip to New York, and having left it very late to book were limited to our hotel choice. After reading the reviews I prepared myself for the worst, and unfortunately this is what we experienced. Positives - A good location, but there are loads more hotels in the vicinity. Staff were friendly, but as there were no facilities we weren't quite sure what they did apart from check-in. Clean sheets and towels every day. Clean (tiny) Bathroom, comfortable bed. Negatives -The hotel rate was far too... more
Tiniest Room I have ever stay in!
The web deal room is way too small. And there is no room for clothes or other items. The bathroom is almost unusable.
Great location-Good value for the money outstanding staff
Although the room was small and there was only one tiny elevator, this hotel was more than adequate. If you are interesed in theatre, this location was fabulous. It was also close to the subway and Central Park. There were many good restaurants nearby and safety was never an issue. What made this hotel so great was the outstanding staff. They were helpful, friendly and more willing to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
WJ okay but could have been better
I was a little disappointed with the WJ. The location is great and the rooms comfortable but during our stay the restaurant was being renovated so there was nowhere in the hotel to even get a cup of coffee. One day we came back from sightseeing at 5.00pm to find our room had not been serviced. I have never experienced that in many years of staying in hotels. When we asked the staff to follow up - there was no apology. The staff were not the friendliest hotel staff I have ever met. It was okay but as it was not cheap I expected the... more
Nice place, we enjoyed our stay
I felt I had to write a review since the last 3 posted were so negative. I thought the WJ was a nice, clean place and a great value. 3 positives: very safe as there was a security guard at the door every night; staff was very pleasant to us (the concierge walked a block down the street just to hail a cab for us!); updated rooms. Also, the location was ideal. Only a few blocks from Times Square, theaters, Restaurant Row, subway station. Yes, the room was very small but I expect that for older hotels in large cities. All in... more
No problems here!
This was my first trip to NYC so I can't really compare the WJ to other hotels here. From reading the previous reviews, I was expecting the worst. However, if you are prepared for a very small room and you are not too picky, this turned out to be a good place to stay. It was very close to many attractions (ie Times Square) and also very close to the subway. The room was very clean and smelled good. The staff were quite friendly. Overall, I think that NYC has so much to offer in terms of entertainment that you never really... more
Terrible Disappointment
The room was NOT as represented on their web site. Staff is very uncoperative. I will never recommend this hotel.
DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT
NOT as represented; horrible rooms; extremely rude staff; unsafe environment; don't even consider staying here!!!
Bad News!
The room was definitely not as advertised. When we asked to move to another room, we were advised that it would cost an additional $50.00 per night for a similar room. The staff was incredibly rude.
