My first time at Hotel Wales. Boutique hotel in a cool part of town away from the hustle and bustle of midtown. Nice neighborhood feel. Rooms very resonably priced vesus midtown. I was in NYC on business and typcally my meetings are mid and downtown but hotel prices were ridiculous for some reason that night so I found Wales Hotel on the web. Friendly staff, nice upgrade to a King Suite which was very spacious overlooking Madison Ave with a glimpse of Central Park. A block away from Central Park and Resevoir which I love as I am a runner and close to the Met and Guggenheim. Staff very friendly and two great restaurants on each side of hotel (Paola-Italian and Island, a casual eclectic menu) If you are a light sleeper like me take earplugs (which they should give out at desk) or request a "quiet room" as traffic from Madison Ave at night can be a distraction. Is a bit of a hike from mid and downtown and if you have business meetings that way, give yourself plenty of time for cab or take the subway. I would definitely stay there again but most likely for personal visits. Highly recommended though!
