New York Booker T Washington Playground Hotels

"Perfect area, large room, right next to Grand Central station and almost every attraction is within walking distance. And they give you a $15 daily credit to the store. "

"What a lovely hotel in the heart of the Upper West Side. The staff was very helpful and the hotel had an old charm to it. I would return for sure!"

"Poor very bad "

"Classic New York Hotel. It’s in the center of the rat race. The location is like downtown Chicago on steroids. The hotel itself was outdated, but had an old time class to it. Room was clean but had old carpet. The bed in my room was extremely comfortable!! The heater was very loud. It sounded like it was on its last leg at times. My friend’s heater also did this, I think it’s the age and model of the heaters. The food around town is amazing. By far some of the best food in the country. Hands down. Walking distance to these amazing food places wasn’t bad. Most of the staff at the hotel…just okay. Nothing too special, just seemed like they were going through the motions. New York is very overpopulated, especially on the weekends. Weekdays much more doable. Hotel gave a complimentary candy bar, bottle of wine, and bag of chips. Housekeeping was amazing! Very friendly, diligent, and helpful. The hotel gave meal vouchers for breakfast. You can use 2 a day, at different places. A couple of locations to choose from. The food is either free or at a low price. Many choices for food. Food is mediocre. You could sit down or take it to go. I would stay again. The property has a lot of potential, it could just use a major spruce up, while maintaining the classic style. New York always had things to do. Lots of choices when it comes to fun. "

"Everything was great, "

"We needed our stay to be close to the manhattan school of music for my daughter’s audition. It was perfect, upscale and comfortable. We didn’t eat there or use the amenities. Just the room. The shower was my favorite part of the whole trip lol. "
