New York Booker T Washington Playground Hotels

"Great staff Danny was great"

"The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in suggesting places to eat. Check in and check out was a breeze. The room was clean and bed comfy. My only negative comment is how tiny the rooms are. It was hard to move around in such small rooms and bathroom. The larger room we upgraded to for our second night was also small and nothing like we have experienced at other La Quinta locations. "

"Chris in the lobby was absolutely fantastic. Elevators used a horrible system but the overall place and location are fantastix."

"I had a verrry good two-night stay at Hotel Beacon. I highly recommend it. I was immediately greeted by the bellman, Carl, who was personable and efficient. He was Johnny-on-the-spot gathering my luggage, as I went through the infamous 9 Yogic Contortions to gain release from the"extra comfort" Lyft. :D ;} All of the front desk associates I had dealings with went the extra mile. I was upgraded to a suit, with a well stocked kitchen, nice views, and a comfortable bed. [NB: There are a few kinks; e.g., there is a treacherous step UP into the bathroom. It is clear a stop gap measure was put in place to at least make the guest aware (with a motion-sensor nightlight) that is no help during the day.] The bathroom is small, but very clean and functional with some nice amenities. Overall, I was impressed with the level of comfort, functionality, and charm of the room. Finally, the doorman, Jett, is a special person who exemplifies the charms and best qualities of Hotel Beacon. "

"Check in was smooth and the gentleman who checked my family in I was very kind and helpful. I wish I remembered his name, because he certainly deserved the praise! This hotel was a great spot to be where main attractions were not far off at all! "

"Everything was very nice."

"Staff friendly. Clean room. Good location. "

"We were intrigued with the bits and pieces of the original building which were preserved during renovation of the public areas. The art work was a wonderful addition. The Wallace is a tasteful blend of old and new."

"Wonderful Manhattan location. Lots of shops , eateries and bars. Handy for Central Park and Natural History Museum. Good sized room, helpful staff, spotlessly clean. Not quite a four-star but well above three-star. Nice Matin is a lovely French dining experience."
