Pawling Nature Reserve

Gave this hotel a shot despite some ok reviews. Overall it did the job while we stayed for a few nights. Our room was small which is to be expected with a Manhattan hotel. The room was not cleaned well including not having a fitted sheet for the bed and I pulled a huge clump of hair out of the shower drain when we got there. I would say the room had some obviously wear and tear and rusting on some of the bathroom appliances. The pool area looked bigger in pictures but realistically could only fit a few people comfortably and there are very few chairs to recline in. We chose the hotel in part for the pool on a hot week but it seemed to be heated and swarmed with people so we couldn’t use it much. The patio dining was nice and relaxing and the food was enjoyable. There are a few good dining options around, but not much or anything that blew us away. This hotel is right next to Lincoln center and not far from Central Park and the subway which was a major plus! Starbucks was right downstairs on the corner and then neighborhood felt safe to be in. Overall this hotel fit the bill but not sure we would stay again.

Good hotel could use a few updates and I find it ridiculous you need to pay to use the pool. As a Canadian it’s 250 to rent one chair at the pool ontop of the 1300 for two nights I’m already paying. Great location love that there are room with balconies and the fact Tao and ph rooftop are so close

The WiFi was spotty the two days we were staying. The staff gave us a modem but that didn’t help much. If you’re on vacation but still needing to work, I wouldn’t stay here. But for convenience and location—access to KTown—were excellent!
