We stayed here for one week in June. Our room was so so small it was booked as a double room but bed was only 4 feet 6 inches. It was clean but very old. The shower was excellent but being honest not a room one could relax in for long. It was a place to have as a base to sleep and wash whilst in New York. We had a really busy week sight seeing etc so it was fine but I would not stay here again as feel I could get something more luxurious for same money a little further away from centre.
Reception was always bustling with check in and check out and very little personal touch. One would have line up for perhaps 10 mins to inquire at reception about anything....not their fault just a really busy hotel ....like a train station!!!
However the biggest advantage of the Wellington was its central location. We could walk everywhere and so many subways close by. It is next door to Carnegie Hall and so close to Time Square and Central Park and in heart of Broadway fine restaurants etc. So if going to NY for sightseeing and shows it is an ideal location but you have to sacrifice on luxury accommodation. As I have now done all the sightseeing next time I would choose something more luxurious... certainly a bigger room .... but Wellington was extremely convenient.
