The Roosevelt Hotel is definitely a classic of New York City, but you must remember that it is a classic and that means that you cannot expect the newest accomodations. So is it worth the price? As this hotel is on par with some of the more expensive ones in NYC.
Pro - Location, Location, Location right next to Grand Central Station and even walking distance to the best shopping, Times Square, the Rock, etc....
Pro - Have full servce on everything here and they will cater to the most discriminating client
Pro - If you are having a conference, I was a speaker, their larger conference room is a great venue
Pro - The Yander Bar - great lunches and setting
Pro - The Roosevelt Club lounge - great breakfast choices and lunches for a reasonable price
Pro - mad46 - located at on the roof is a very nice setting - very trending and comfortable, the conference group met up here early one evening before going out to dinner
Con - It is an older hotel so think very thin panel windows that should be updated to keep some of the NYC noise out, something to think about if you are a light sleeper. I am not, but my wife is so she put earplugs in and was fine.
Con - The bathroom, was smalll as can be expected in an older hotel
Con - The price it was a little on the high end for the room and amentities
Had the price been a little lower it would have been a 4 star - but it is not a 5 star without some upgrades. However if you had to choose between the Roosevelt and the Waldorf for a classic stay we highly recommend the Roosevelt over the Waldorf.
