I have multiple stays at the Barclays over the last years when in New York on business. It is a classic NY hotel with a very good location close to the Grand Central, Fifth Ave and Central Park. It got all the expected "service ingrediences", but as always in NY it is unfortunately never delivered with a smile... There is always a lot of people waiting for breakefast to start at 7am - why not start earlier as many of the guests may have jetlag or have an early flight to catch? For people on business in NY 7am is not very early....
I was surpriced that they now have WiFi in all rooms! A vital upgrade from the previously "WiFi in the reception area only". The average room is small and somewhat worn out (need a general facelift), but compared to peers like the Roosevelt (terrible) rooms at Intercontinental Barclay are ok. Nice firm beds, but almost no water preassure in the shower.
