The Watson Hotel

Our stay was fabulous. My wife and I were among the last guests before the hotel was closed. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Considering what was/is going on, I was quite impressed with the overall professional performance of the staff. This place is a keeper. To better days, Cheers James

Great location, close to restaurants and sights.

What you see in the photos is what you get. For this price, I found this to be a decent hotel in a good area. The room was clean but by no means luxurious, although the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Overall, I would stay here again.

No air conditioning in rooms. Hidden fees in conformation emails

I’ve stayed at the Watson a few times and have always been pleased with it. Cal at the front desk made me feel very welcome. The location is great because it’s close to everything but not in the heart of the hustle and bustle. Easy access to subways. Close to Central Park. Rooms are dated but good space and amenities for the price and always clean.

Checkin is quick. Nice older hotel. Good value. My room had a door connecting to an adjoining room and they were very loud and partying. I was in NYC for work so I would have preferred to be more rested. Avoid room 704 if you don’t want an adjoining room. Other than that, great value hotel!

Let me start by saying that I’ve stayed at the Watson Hotel over 30 nights in the past 3 months. Great location in Hell’s Kitchen, so convenient to Central Park, the theater district and connected to all that the city has to offer. The beds and linens are super comfortable and the rooms are quite large for New York City. They have a real neighborbood gym in the.building, not just a hotel fitness center and apparently a rooftop pool! The front desk and housekeeping staff are always so gracious and helpful and they have the best rates that I have seen. If you’re looking for a great New York experience and don’t want to spend a fortune on a hotel room, this is an excellent place to be based. I’m Coming back again and again

Friendly hotel, comfortable beds but the rooms are very dated, but as we spent very little time in the room this was okay. There was 4 of us in the room which was plenty big enough. check in was quick and easy, but on check out i was not asked how i would like to pay for the city tax and they automatically deducted this from my card, when i wanted to pay cash, they did refund my card although there was a difference from what they took and what was refunded due to exchange rate.

The lobby is lovely but the rooms are dated. Check in went quickly even though there was a long line and only 2 people working the reception area at checkin time. The elevators are small and getting off the 6th floor in the morning with a stroller was nearly impossible. We eventually took to the stairs, meaning one of us carried the 15 mo old and the other 2 carried the stroller down 6 flights of stairs...not the easiest feat but quicker than waiting for an elevator with room for at least 1 small adult and stroller. Other times of day not as difficult. Bathroom small and no room to put things on the sink area (no shelf storage). Hotel very conveniently located for us, with one daughter living 2 blocks away. That’s the only reason I would come back to this hotel.
