My stay was PERFECTLY PLEASANT because an issue to keep my room 1st day and because a maintenance issue in bathroom at the end of my time there.

I loved the hotel, it was unforgettable and spotlessly clean. Magnificent and ideal location steps away from Therapy. Moreover, I went to the lake, it's 15 minutes walk away.

    The Watson Hotel's location is unbeatable, just 3 blocks from Central Park, and in the heart of Manhattan. The rooftop pool and sundeck provide a great retreat during the summer, and the blackout shades in the room really ensure privacy and a good night's sleep.

    The hotel shows its age with tired decor, and the rooms could use better insulation to block out hallway and street noise. the pizza from the bar didn't quite impress, so I'd recommend exploring other dining options nearby.

    The rooms at The Watson Hotel are so comfortable and spacious, with everything I needed easily accessible. As a wheelchair user, I appreciated the roll-in shower and accessible features. It made my stay stress-free and enjoyable.

    I personally prefer tubs in accessible rooms, but I know it's a personal preference.

    Impressive event space with attentive staff. The hotel's strong personality endures, like a relic from the past. A great starting point for a NYC adventure. The rooftop pool is a refreshing oasis in the summer. Lots of sports memorabilia in the bar, as if that's what I go to NYC to see.

    Mice ate my marathon snacks, ants joined me in bed, mold and broken AC embraced me. It's the charming, vintage Day's Inn experience, minus the marijuana-infused ventilation system.

    During my transit in New York, I stayed at The Watson Hotel and found the location to be incredibly convenient for getting around the city. With easy access to the 50th St. Station and being close to LaGuardia Airport, it made my travel experience seamless and stress-free. the hotel's rooftop pool and sundeck provided a relaxing escape from the bustling city, offering a pleasant leisure option during my stay.

    One minor issue I encountered during my stay at The Watson Hotel was the discovery of a forgotten pair of ladies underwear and a compress towel behind a chair in my room. Although this was a minor inconvenience, it did slightly detract from an otherwise pleasant experience.

    I chose to visit Times Square and Bryant Park, and Watson pleasantly surprised me with its convenient location. The hotel's facilities and services, including the fitness center and outdoor pool, exceeded my expectations. Additionally, the proximity to fabulous shopping and a plethora of restaurants and pubs made my stay even more enjoyable.

    Inconsistent A/C and water interruptions.

    I selected this hotel for a work appointment as it offers a small business center in the lobby with unlimited computer use, ideal for healthcare professionals who hold small conferences in the meeting space.

    I wished the hotel offered express dry-cleaning and laundry services as this would have been convenient for my work attire during the busy schedule.

    The hotel's lobby exudes a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for seniors to relax and socialize. The cozy seating areas and beautiful artwork made me feel welcomed and at ease. The hotel's central location, close to Central Park and transportation hubs, made it convenient for me to explore and enjoy the city without having to travel far.

    I wish the children of the staff were more attentive and welcoming towards senior guests, creating a more caring and hospitable atmosphere.

    I recently stayed at The Watson Hotel for a few days on a visit to NYC. The staff was incredibly helpful and always willing to assist, except for the reception staff who could use some customer relation training. Despite the affordable price, the rooms exceeded my expectations - they were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. The hotel lobby and lobby bar/restaurant were also impressive. The location was perfect, within walking distance to Lincoln Center and other upper West Side venues. There was also convenient parking nearby and a selection of places to grab snacks and a quick breakfast. A great stay overall!

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in New York and had a great experience. The staff at Watson were friendly and the lobby had a nice lively atmosphere. The room was comfortable and quiet, allowing for a good night's sleep. I particularly appreciated the spaciousness of the room and the coffee maker that was provided. The location of the hotel was also fantastic - we were within walking distance to Broadway, Central Park, and a theater in Midtown. Although our room didn't have a view, I would recommend asking for a room on floors 15-18 for a better view. it was a comfortable and convenient stay.

    Nothing, all excellent.

    Great hotel for a city stay! The breakfast buffet had a variety of options and they even had complimentary toiletries in the room. Location was amazing, within walking distance to many attractions and lots of restaurants nearby. Also, the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

    The room was a bit noisy due to street traffic and the walls were thin. Additionally, the overall price was a bit high for what was offered.

The location of the hotel was excellent as it was between Central Park and Times Square, which made it easy for us to travel around the city. The staff was friendly and helpful during our stay.

    During my recent business trip to New York, I had the opportunity to stay at The Watson Hotel, chosen by my director for its convenient location. The hotel offers a wide range of leisure options for guests, including a well-equipped gym. I was able to maintain my fitness routine during my stay, thanks to the modern exercise equipment and serene atmosphere. The gym was clean and comfortable, providing a refreshing space to unwind after a busy day of meetings and work commitments.

    For a place rated as 4-star, it does not show it.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in New York and I was pleasantly surprised by its great location. It was super close to Central Park, which was perfect for my morning runs, and it was also within easy walking distance of the Lincoln Center and the theater district. Additionally, it was conveniently located near the Manhattan cruise terminal and other popular attractions. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel had some great facilities like a fitness center and a restaurant.

    One drawback was the lack of parking options for rental cars.

    The rooftop outdoor pool and sundeck were a hidden paradise amidst the urban jungle. As I basked in the sunshine, the hustle and bustle of the city felt a million miles away. It was like finding an oasis in the desert, a rare moment of tranquility in the heart of chaos.

    Expensive parking.

    The location of this hotel couldn't be better - it's right at the center of all the attractions in the city. We explored New York on foot, by bus, subway, and airtran, all easily accessible from the hotel. The room we had was clean and decent, with a great view from the windows. We even had a queen size bed, which was a pleasant surprise. Plus, the prices were budget-friendly, perfect for a family trip.

    The only minor issue we encountered during our stay was a slight delay during check-in. However, all was okay in the end.

    We took a leisurely stroll to Central Park and had a dip in the rooftop pool, which was so refreshing. The concierge area helped us snag tickets for a memorable night at the opera. The staff were super fun and helpful!

    I wish there was a more happening nightlife scene around the hotel for us young party-goers.
