Beekman Tower Hotel

( 3 stars , New York , United States )

We just spent Memorial Day Weekend at the Beekman. Hot in NYC. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was out the entire weekend. It had been out for two days when we arrived!! When we asked they said they were working on it, but the repairman's shift was over and he was gone for the day! (NOTE: When the air conditioning isn't working, he doesn't go home until it is!!) It was strange that the a/c was working quite well at the reception desk and in the restaurant on the 26th floor. Room was HUGE, but carpet was old and loose, large ripples in the carpet. Bathrooms were small, non-slip mat in the shower was DISGUSTING. Too hot to sleep well. All in all, we won't be staying there again! JRI

Very friendly & welcoming. Location- A bit out of centre. Ameneties - Downstairs Bar closed - Tower Bar very small & exclusive. Staff extremely helpful & Friendly - full marks Rooms - Comfortable & clean

I LOOKED AND LOOKED BEFORE BOOKING AND FOUND THIS HOTEL SO GLAD I DID IT WAS GREAT NICE STAFF AND GREAT ROOMS VERY CLEAN AND THE LOCATION WAS GREAT AND THE CAFE ACROSSED THE STREET WAS VERY GOOD AND NOT EXPENSIVE AT ALL. I WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN

Hidden treasure This hotel was a hidden treasure. The only thing was that we had asked for early check in and that immediately turned the front desk associates into aliens. I reminded them that it was truly only a request. Check in is at 3 pm we had asked at 2 pm. Rocked their world! Traveler's tip on local attractions The Sex museum is a must, but not for children!

I had a problem with the cable TV. Otherwise it was a great stay. I will definitely try to get reservations at this hotel for future trips to New York City.

The Beekman Tower was a great place to stay for a long weekend in NYC. The suite had a bedroom, living room (with sofa bed), and a fully furnished kitchen. The layout offered plenty of space for 3 adults to live and sleep without getting tangled up with each other. While we did not do any cooking, we were able to keep the refrigerator stocked with beverages and snacks. The location two blocks north of the UN was quiet, offering a great place to recharge away from the hustle & bustle of Times Square. Yet the Theatre District was in walking district due west, and there was plenty of cab activity when we did not want to walk. The staff was amazingly courteous and helpful: We were able to check in early (before noon and within 10 minutes of our arrival); the bellman pre-arranged our return shuttle to the airport; and Heather at the main desk helped us find the address for a specific non-tourist location we wanted to tour. Although the 1st floor restaurant was closed for renovations, the Top of the Tower was open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with great views and good food. I highly recommend Beekman Tower, and will stay there when I return to NYC.

+Staff responsiveness and sympathy. Central location with easy access to buses, subway and of course taxi. -Cleaning could improve with more attention to detail (cleaning under beds)

I loved the art deco exterior and the public areas. I also loved our one bedroom suite's spaciousness, it was comfortable, with attractive furnishings and a large bathroom. Plus, I liked the convenience of a full kitchen and the fact that you could open the windows. Everything was exceedingly well maintained. Its location near the East River makes it a pleasant oasis from the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan.

I loved the Beekman Hotel because of its historic architecture (I love art deco), its great location (I could easily walk to MOMA, Rockefeller Center, Sak's 5th Avenue, etc), and the fact that it was unique. You didn't feel like you were in a chain hotel that could've been in any city. I really felt like I had a unique NYC experience here. I was so excited with my room upgrade. I had a kitchenette, living room with 2 desks, couch and coffee table, and a separate bedroom and bath. The view out my window of the NY skyline was also thrilling. I felt like I was in an apartment instead of a hotel. I will definately recommend this hotel to friends and try to stay there again in the future.

The staff was excellent, the rooms were very spacious and very very clean. The location was a bit away from the action, but it just made us see more of Manhattan that is beautiful. I will definitely return to this hotel.
