My husband and I traveled to NYC this weekend with 4 other couples. Most stayed at The Belvedere. The Pros: great location, so easy to get to Times Square, subway 2 second walk, great bars and restaurants around, Great hotel service, rooms were very clean, some good views from either side of hotel (hard to come by in NYC). Cons: 1...There is no temperature controls in the room. We went in the winter, the room was extremely hot and I usually like my house warm in the winter, but this was undoable. There was an old AC in the window, this was the only way you had control of the temp. Our friends said their rooms were this way as well. You can open the window, but only 2 inches (no windows open in NYC). So we slept uncomfortable with nothing on and a sheet. 2...The bathroom was extremely small, there was a free standing sink, with no counter top. Had to use back of toilet for make-up, curling iron, etc. Two people couldn't be in there at once.
I would maybe stay here again, if only for one quick night, but the temperature was almost unbearable.
