Hotel that exceeded our expectations.”
This hotel exceeded our expectations in more ways than one. First the location is great. It's close to all main attractions, central park, Times square, Rockefeller center etc but far enough away that it's quieter in surrounding area. We had a king size room which was more than big enough for us as a couple. With all you need for your stay. Breakfast was adequate enough and with plenty of choice and bar area was plesant with relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful during our stay. The surrounding area had plenty of choices food wise on 9th and 10th avenue. Not only for breakfast but for lunch and dinner options too. For the money we payed for our 4 day weekend we couldn't of been happier with our stay and would recommend in the future.

I had a double double bed room. I thought from the picture my room would be tight quarters but that was not the case at all. We only stayed one night but our room was comfortable and quiet. We were easily able to walk to Radio City Music Hall, Time Square, Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center. The people working were friendly and helpful. Also, if you park next door and have your ticket validated you receive a discount. I live in the Boston area and have paid more for a parking garage for a few hours than I did for 24 hour parking in NY! Lastly there are plenty of places to eat nearby and it cost us nothing to store our luggage for a few hours before we actually left. Overall, I would stay here again.

Great Location, Staff & Facilities”
We traveled in a group of 4 comprising; a 12-year-old, a 16-year-old and my wife and I. We absolutely loved this hotel. It was in a great location 5mins walk to central park and 20mins walk to Time Square. There were sooo many food places and stores nearby to quickly go out and grab something to either eat out or take back to the room. The pool was the icing on the cake and allowed us to take a break around 4-6pm each day to relax before heading out again in the evening. The pool was open between 10 am and 7:30 pm each day. The room itself (a standard 2 x double beds) was large with lots of moving space around the beds, good pressure shower and lots of TV channels. Tea and coffee were available in the room for free and room service could be ordered from the restaurant downstairs. The hotel staff were ace, the concierge provided us with lots of travel advice and tips. I would highly recommend for families.

Within walking distance to subways. Many eateries around. Very well equipped gym. As we were travelling to Washington DC for a couple of nights, we left some luggage at the hotel since we were returning to stay another few nights again. Note hat there is a charge of $3 a bag a day for left luggage

The hotel is ok, the room is good size, with two double beds, good for 4 people to share. The hotel is kind of old and noise, both from the street and next door. however the price is competitive at this location, at this room size.

Staff was great and they had a nice bar but breakfast food was marginal ( fruit medley had gone off) . Their TV movie system was hard to use and ultimately did not work. We came back from lunch to find that housekeeping had removed the skirt from our bed and did not replace it !

Great location. Safe upscale commercial neighborhood. Easy to find by taxi. Friendly staff. Clean spacious rooms. Very nice espresso maker. But our room had no fridge. The hotel itself is an old property, probably even historic. So I didn’t mind the old fashioned feel of the place. The elevator looked vintage. A walking distance to Central Park, 5th Ave and everything else in midtown Manhattan. Super great place to stay!

Very old building with only a facelift on the outside ”
I’m disappointed with this property. The photos of the exterior of the hotel looks great, but the minute walking into the lobby it takes you back to the 80s. The major Cons of this hotel is the overall facilities being very very old and dim, and it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for years. I worry every time I used the elevator whether it would work. • The toilet smack right in the middle of the bathroom where you sit in the toilet and your feet would stick out by the bathroom door • The carpet is very very thin and looks dirty, wall papers peeled off everywhere in the room • Coffee machine (Keurig) in the room never works • We heard the water piping from our room all night long The Watson is the former Holiday Inn. Management there seemed to spent all the money on the outside of the building and not a penny on ANY upkeep in the inside, creating a disproportionately imbalance feel of the hotel, and it certainly backfired (for me at least)

Maureen who works on hospitalities? desk - very very informative and certainly gave us the best advice on what to see and do whilst staying in New York! Hotel owner - Joe or Mr C! makes a point to greet his guests and remembers everyones name! very nice touch, felt very welcomed. Rooftop pool is amazing too. Felt very safe and secure within hotel and New York in general. Would highly recommend The Watson and would stay again. Best hotel I have stayed in!

My wife and I really enjoyed the Watson Hotel because of its location and amenities. We visited NYC at the end of July when it was hot and humid. We wanted a hotel that offered a swimming pool so we could cool off after days of exploring the city. The rooftop pool was excellent. It had sun chairs where we could relax and read and the pool was clean and refreshing. Many guests enjoyed the pool, but it didn't feel overcrowded and the lifeguard on duty made sure guest were respectful of others enjoyment of the area. They also had a bar which served drinks and prepared food for the guests. The location of the hotel was also ideal. We walked alot because several attractions are close by. We walked to Central Park, Times Square, Broadway, and several excellent restaurants. Being located on the edge of Hell's Kitchen made for a great spot because my wife and I love good food. The rooms weren't super nice and the bathroom was small, but the bed was really comfortable.

I was very impressed by the hotel. It was a few blocks from Central Park and various subway station. It was a reasonable price for a good hotel . The only thing that was funky was the toilet, it had a handle as those in schools and took a while to flush. However everything else was great: the beds, shower, television, staff, and there was even a small restaurant and gift sho. I would totally recommend

This wasn’t my first time at the hotel and never had a problem with them until today when they decided to charge me more than what I booked the room for. They charged me a destination fee which was never in my total when I booked the room. I showed the rep my email of the proof that the $9.99 was never part of my total and they didn’t want to listen to me at all her and the manager they kept pushing their receipt in my face and tried to break it down like I was stupid. I had my proof what my total was after the taxes and fees and they refused to leave it at what I was told I was going to pay and said they wouldn’t refund me my money. The rep also couldn’t explain to me what was the purpose of the destination fee. I got my money back thanks to Agoda because they also stated that extra fee was never on my total from the start.

Good value and handy location!”
Off beat, colorful, highly diverse international clientele; clean rooms; fun roof-top pool; handy location (do not overlook the crosstown 57th st. buses, or the waterfront areas to the east, which are gentrifying nicely. K-cup coffee machine, free wifi, TV with free HBO. Only negative I can think of was lack of a mini-fridge. Definitely worth the great rate we got through Agoda! Thanks!
