The Beekman Tower Hotel - New York

This is my second stay the Beekman. I like the location for mid town appointments. The rooms are a suite with kitchen, living room and bedroom. Sure each room is small but having been in a few friends apt's in NY made me feel like this was my own place. The service was fast and simple they had my reservation and check in only took a minute. The room […] was clean and service was good. Ate at the nations Cafe across the street for breakfast and stopped at the Starbucks 2 blocks away on 2nd ave which got my morning started off great. If you want feel like you live in NY for week or so this is great little hotel. Lisateave

Thid place hasn't been updated ever. Good location but thsts about it. Room was big but super outdated

We were iIn pet room. Capet was very poor and had small area of separation,visible concrete. Also had some exposed carpet tacos(ouch). Room smelled like smoke The configuration of room was good with sm kitchen. Area was quiet for the city. However adjoining room doors slammed easily and loudly. Hotel lobby was beautiful. Internet charge per day per […] computer- not expected. Not sure would recommend. Non pet rooms may have been better. Lisateave

Had quite enjoyed my stay at the Beekman hotel until towards thye last two days of my over two weeks stay. My kitchen sink had a leaking problem, to which the hotel plumber promptly responded to and came to fix, however some of my food that had been in the kitchen cupbopard had been spoilt by the dirty water from the sink. I contacted the hotel manager […] on duty, who was apparently very impolite and uncooperative. He told me there was nothing they could do about my 'spoilt' groceries and ehcne I must not expect anything. The least i expected was coutersy out of an un-anticipated incovenvenience. The Manager was very rude and almost the banged the phone down on me, promised to call back but never did. I had intended to take the matter up further on the next day but decided otherwise as i thought it unnnecessary to drain the energy out of me. A sincere and genuine apology from the hotel would have been appropriate. i was extremely disappinted after what had been a fairly above average stay for me and my coallegues. Would I ever go back there? i don know! Good customer care is everything!!!!! Lisateave

the staff tried to put me in two rooms that looked at a concrete wall or scaffolding. Then they took me to the next door "dormitory building". I finally accepted a generous sized room that looked directly at an apartment building next door. The building is old, outdated with an unpleasant lobby. Having a kitchen in the room was beneficial although everything […] was very old. I liked the area, since it was quiet and has convenient restaurants. I would not stay there again. Lisateave

very nice,quiet and clean hotel. We stayed at a suite room which was so comfortable and with relax. We wanna come back there soon again, and would like to recommend to my friends.

We returned to the Beekman after staying there years ago and were not disappointed. The staff was very friendly and attentive. While the overall condition needs a bit of attention, the restaurant view at at the top was awesome! We would definitely stay there again!

The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. Our room was a suite with a pull out sofa and kitchenette. The most noticeable improvement that could be made would be replacing the old green carpet that had seen many years of service. However, the room was very clean and everything worked. You can't go wrong for the price. The best thing is the 26th […] floor Top of the Tower restaurant and bar which has great views in all directions. There are many small markets and convenience stores nearby. The closet subway entrance is at 51st and Lexington, a 5-10 minute walk. Lisateave

Great hotel, and superior convenience - love the suite layout and the kitchenette is ideal! Second visit, and the first stay vs. second, regarding room anemities, was day and night! Luck of the draw is not unique to this hotel, I'm sure. Enjoy!!

I can definitely see where this hotel was once quite nice and the retro theme could be lovely BUT this hotel is ready for a major overhaul. I had to call the desk several times to get needed items: towels, blowdryer, bed made up. Plugs were non-functional; bathroom taps were leaky; curtain rods were old fashioned and did not curve outward so you had […] to fight with the shower curtain while showering. Despite requesting a non-smoking room we were given a smoking room. I was told requests are never guaranteed. My asthma and I had a hard time accepting this response. They did change us to a non-smoking room but not without my insistance...cough, cough, wheeze, wheeze...not a great way to begin a holiday weekend in New York. we made the best of it and while it was not uninhabitable, I would not recommend this hotel nor would I stay there again.

Stayed in this hotel during the President's day long weekend. The hotel is doing construction on the second floor, and it happens to be the floor we are staying. No other rooms are available since its busy weekend. The windows are blocked by scafolddings so there aren't any view. The water is yellowish but it eventually cleared out. There is no hair […] dryer so make sure bring your own. Its a studio so it comes with a kitchenette with a mini gas burner. Burner doesn't work (it doesn't lit), and there are no pots and pans, rendering the kitchen almost useless with the exception of a small microwave we use to heat water for tea. Therefore, not sure why they have kitchenette in the first place... The room is fairly good size, but not much furnishing, just lots of useless empty space. I wish they will consider to upgrade their bed to at least king size, since space not seem to be an issue. The bed is pretty aged. We can actually feel the springs poking out on strategic places. We didn't mind as much since with our full schedule during the day, we pretty much passed out directly when returned to the hotel. We did check out the restaurant at the top level of the hotel "Top of the Tower" for breakfast. The view is excellent and the omelete is delicious. Monday morning, the construction starts, and you can feel the room shaking. I guess its the hotel's way of reminding you its time to checkout. The serving staff in hotel generally have good attitude, however I wish the hotel is more "equipped" and letting the customer know they are in the middle of the construction, and perhaps close the construction floor instead of renting it out to customers. Since this is a mid-price range hotel, I expect a little bit more of quality. I have stayed in much cheaper hotel in Manhattan with much better room quality (and yes, they have hair dryer). In summary - the experience is not what you paid for. I would recommed people to stay away unless there are no other choice. Lisateave

We had a lovely weekend staying at the Beekman. It was like having out own apartment in the city. There was plenty of room, a beautiful location and was very convenient. We will definitely stay there again when we go back to NYC.

We ended up with a room in the adjacent building which did not have a hotel feel at all. Narrow noisy entry, furnishings tired and worn, old small tv. Staff were very helpful and for the price it wasn't a bad deal, though the shower never got hot for us. It fit the bill for our one night but I wouldn't go back. Maybe for a room in the main hotel, but […] not for the old building, certainly. Lisateave

PROs The hotel is a charming '30s tower by the East River, facing the UN HQ. Staff is friendly and helpful. Location is in a safe and quiet neighborhood, within a few blocks from good restaurants, even if it takes at least 20 min to the main attractions of Midtown. Room have amazing views and are huge. Beds are very comfortable, linen are clean. Restaurant […] is great: food and view. CONs Furniture (except from mattress) is outdated Wifi is available but incredibly overpriced We spotted a well-grown beetle happily walking on the carpet (but I guess it's pretty normal in such an old building...I guess...I hope!)

I was upgraded to a suite and it was pretty big - more like an old-fashioned one bedroom apartment than a traditional hotel suite. That was nice since I had a lot of work to do and could spread out. The whole place had more of a pre-war bldg feel than a hotel feel, incl the old (but charming) furniture and the (worn) carpet. I did not like that there […] was no inside lock or bold on the door (only the card-key lock). But the staff is friendly and the price was right. I don't normally like being so far on the east side, so it is not an ideal location for me. The room had a lovely view of the east river, though. Lisateave

Pros: Hotel staff was all incredibly helpful, from front desk to the bellhops. Location was great- Walking distance to Times Square or just hop on the bus for a few minutes. Cons: Nearly impossible to get an early check-in but were willing to hold our bags for us. Room was clean but sofa sleeper was stained all over. With the price we paid one would […] think they'd be able to upgrade worn furniture every couple of years. Extra: It may not matter to some but there was a convenience store right across the street that stays open late! Lisateave

Great location and huge rooms for NYC with good beds. Love the Top of the Tower on the 26th floor for fantastic views of the City. Could not get good wireless reception in the east wing and the hotel furnishings are dated but fine. Good to have a little kitchen if you like being able to stop at the Deli.

All was great, just a little disappointed by the fact that there was nothing to cook a little in the small kitchen. only one frying pan ! I had to ask for a kettle to boil water for my tea ! it would have been nice to have a simple pot and other accessories to be able to cook pasta or rice !

Excellant location and convenient crosstown bus nearby to connect to all subways & major shopping area in midtown NYC -- Staff very courteous and rooftop breakfast & dinner available with majestic views of NY skyline.

We had never stayed on this side of Manhattan before and found the neighborhood to be charming. Its more residential than we're used to, and its a very nice residential. Our room was a suite and very spacious. It had a small kitchen, which we didn't use. Having separate rooms to sleep was perfect for our family of four. The staff was more courteous […] and kind than other NYC hotels. A trip to the top floor for the views is a must while staying here. This hotel is older and it shows. It doesn't compete with the fancy newer or remodeled hotels; however, the price is the same. It was comfortable, though. There is a parking garage in the same block if you don't want to use the hotel valet; however, its overpriced. We found out after the fact that we could have gotten validation from the hotel for a few dollars off, which doesn't make much difference. There are less expensive garages a few blocks away. Its a 15-20-min walk to Rockefeller Center, and practically next door to the United Nations. What would have made our stay better is a less expensive parking options made known to us. There are many nice places to eat in the area that are much less expensive than those in Times Square. We would stay here again if we could get a better rate. Lisateave

If you are looking for space in the city, this is it! Huge space with a full kitchen. A trifle dated and worn in most areas but for the price/space you can overlook the flaws. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was quiet and a number of food offerings in the immediate walkable area. Definatly plan to make a return trip to the Beekman Tower.

Overall a good experience and loved the 26th floor views! Would suggest updating carpeting and couch, they are old and worn. I would stay again on business for location and good price point.

The Beekman is a bit worn around the edges but that makes it all the more classic in my view. My room was spacious for a mid-town hotel in this price range. the staff was nice and the restaurant on the top floor, with its terrific view of the East River and surrounds is a bonus.

Photos look 10 million times better than what the actual rooms are in real life. It's like an old apartment building turned hotel but not done well at all. We had a Queen Suite with a pull out sofa bed. Might as well have slept on the floor because that would've been more comfortable than the springs from the mattress in my back. I was even taking sleep […] medication because of a cough that I have and couldn't go to sleep still!!! Location was okay but I will never stay here again. When I tried to get some help with the sofa bed the lady wanted to charge me $45 a night for a rollaway bed!!! How rude and inconsiderate! I thought customer service was the most important thing in hotels! Not at this one! They will lose my business from now until forever! Lisateave

We recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a great location and the staff were very friendly. The building is older, but that adds to the charm.

restaurant is great!

good location relatively close to subway and near the un. room was very large. fold out bed serviceable. apt could use upgrades but all in all good value for the money

Room is old world with no flat screen TV, and a need of serious remodel. Room is super large with windows in every room and bedroom. I had a living room, dining area, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Can not beat the price, but it was very clean and very large. This was a room on the 9th floor.

The Beekman is well situated in manhatten, close to UN HQ, and about a 20min walk to Time square. Also convinient for tour buses, pick up at Waldorf hotel (ten min walk). Staff were great and helpful with local info. The room was very big but decor and furnature was old and frayed. Air con did not work properly (cold or cold), no spare blankets, only […] one very light one on bed. Requested more off room service, never arrived. Bottom line, only there for three days, slept badly.... Lisateave

NYC buildings are required to have bricks checked acne repaired regularly. That grinding and pounding work was going on outside my room. Dust actually came through the windows and was all over the desk area. Rooms are huge with full kitchens (bigger than my first NYC apt). Clean generally but old. And then there was the dust... S just 2 stars.

My 9 year old grandson and I stayed at the Beekman Tower Hotel the day before leaving on our cruise. The staff were very friendly and accomodating to all our needs. As we had arrived at 8:30 in the morning and had a full day planned they kept our luggage and were very helpful with directions and places to go. We arrived back at 8:00 at night and were […] pleasantly surprised with our suite. We ate in the restaurant which was one of the highlights of our day.. the fabulous food and view was spectacular. They made a special request meal for my grandson which was appreciated by both of us. The staff made us feel like family. Lisateave

Very outdated! Nothing like the pictures online.

First let me start by pointing out that i reserved a one bedroom suite Sept/2011...... This one bedroom was not actually in the hotel, but it was in the building next door to the hotel that was owned by them. It was very dark and gloomy very outdated, dusty and scary. when i walked in i told the door man it felt as if someone died in the room and i […] was uneasy, his reply was "possibly, it did used to be an apartment building". I changed my clothes and left to spend the night at a friends place. The next day i returned to get a change of clothing and met up with friends and stayed the night at my cousins very small apartment. i did this for the next few days, only going there to change and do my hair. I found a disgusting amount of dust, hair and used razors between the sink and shower when i dropped my eyeliner in the bathroom. Yuck!! On the last night i was there later then normal (almost slept there this night) and found BEDBUGS in the bedroom and bathroom!! My friend came over and helped me shake out all my luggage before leaving checking out early and never going back EVER!! i am so glad i never slept or showered there, and unfortunately i spent the entire next day doing laundry.... I dont know what the main hotel/tower is like, maybe better - maybe not, ill never know. Lisateave
