We recently visited NYC and stayed at the wonderful Hotel BelleClaire! The pictures on the website are not exaggerated and are exactly how the lobby and rooms look. We arrived at the hotel way before check-in and they told us if they didnt have a room ready, they would be more than happy to store our bags in a locked luggage storage until they did. The rooms were clean and decorated in a "chic modern" manner. We had a private bath room with doubles beds which had down comforters. The room also had air conditioner WITH temperature controls. The staff was very friendly and we never had any problems with anyone. I have read other reviews on this hotel concerning the small elevators. While this is true, what they didnt know is that there is a much larger elevator down the hall that can be used for hauling luggage! The location of the hotel was excellent also. It was a short one block walk to the red line 79th St. subway station which has stops at columbus circle, times square, even to the south ferry station to see the Statue of Liberty. The neighborhood was safe and is a high end residential area. We like staying in the Upper West Side because it is away from the more touristy areas of nyc and the area is filled with great local shops and restaurants. Overall we are VERY satisfied with our stay at the BelleClaire and very happy to have found it. Now when travelling to NYC, we dont have to worry about where to stay. We know we always have a home away from home at the BelleClaire.
