Stayed for 7 days in October - really enjoyed my stay & would have no hesitation in returning / recommending to others. I must confess to being a little apprehensive prior to arrival - more often than not, the web-site images portray a better than reality image - not in this case !
The Hotel was extremely well maintained, comfortable & clean. Breakfast (as to be expected) was a little dearer than local cafes - but I soon returned the following day/s - i.e. the small increase in cost is far out-weighed by the quality of food / customer service.
Very convenient location, Grand Central is only a very short walk. Also subway very close.
Most Hotels in NY don't have a pool (The Barclay included) - but the fitness centre is very good, also the best steam room I've ever been in, c/w sauna etc.
Decor is a little dated (in terms of material/colour choice), but nothing to be concerned about - everything is in excellent condition.
Well done The Barclay !
