the Barclay

I brought my parents here for dinner when they came to visit, and I have to say that it was beyond delicious. The wine was amazing, ang the entire menu was organic!

• Pros: Great Meal

Nice, but not exactly the 4 stars I expected

by SQ82 at Citysearch

We went for a nice Valentine's Day "Staycation"--thought it would be nice to try a new neighborhood for a romantic weekend. This hotel seems more geared toward business travelers/tourists than a couple. The furnishings were lovely; however, there were crumbs/plastic ties in the bottom of the fridge and the snack drawer.

They do provide a coffeemaker and wine glasses, which was nice. Room service leaves a bit to be desired - my steak was cooked nicely, but poorly seasoned. I'd go again, but only if I got a steeply discounted rate.

• Pros: beautiful lobby, free wireless in the lobby
• Cons: Mini-fridge & snack drawer needed cleaning!

Very nice

We just returned from vacation in NYC and we stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel. We were very pleased. The hotel is lovely and the location was great. We had a room on the 14th floor and while we didn't have a view, we didn't care because the room was large, quiet, clean and the beds so comfortable, which is really all that mattered as far as we were concerned. The bathroom while not very large, wasn't exactly a closet either. The bathroom was clean and we found a fresh supply of towels every day. The maid service was great - we came back to the hotel after a long day of exploring the city to find the a/c on, the beds made with fresh, clean sheets and the bathroom clean.

We would definately stay there again.

• Pros: Location

Great Hotel in Midtown

by mac at Citysearch

Our first trip to NYC. Great location in midtown - a little quieter than the Times Square hotels which was one of the reasons we chose it. Close but not too close. Front desk and concierge staff were adequately friendly/helpful. The restaurant, bell hop and housekeeping staff were stellar. Our room was fine - not quite as polished, neat and clean for what I expect from a 4 star hotel but the bed was extremely comfortable which is all that really matters after a long day exploring the city. This is a good choice in midtown.

• Pros: Location, very comfortable, lots of amenities.
• Cons: Room could have been cleaner upon arrival

Good location, less than stellar service

by hkybuff at Citysearch

The location was convenient, pretty central to where I needed to be on this specific trip. Unfortunately, the room was pretty average, the bed was uncomfortable and my biggest problem was the maid service. I had to ask them daily to replenish the towels and toiletries in the bathroom. I travel to New York quite often for business and in my opinion there are other great hotel options in this price range.

• Pros: location, restaurant
• Cons: maid service, bed
