I have seen the bad reviews of the Wellington, but our experience was great. Quick check in and check out. Free upgrade from standard room to queen room with kitchenette. Good maid service. Fast elevators. No problem with water pressure. Clean, excellent location. Compare to Days Inn or Best WEstern. The Plaza it ain't. But look at the difference in... more

We booked through priceline and paid another $60 for an upgrade. We needed two beds and priceline only guarantees one double bed. But still the room rate was reasonable for New York. This location was perfect. The subway was right outside the door of hotel. Carnegie deli across street. Everything within walking distance. The hotel has a definite European feel... more

We stayed at this hotel after spending three nights at another hotel closer to Macy's. When we arrived at the Wellington Hotel we realized we had made a mistake and should have stayed at our first hotel. Check in took forever with the only bonus being we were upgraded to a bigger bed. We stayed in a part of the... more

My daughter and myself stayed at the Wellington for 4 nights end of June 2008. On arrival (exhausted after long flight) we checked in and the Bellman showed us to our room. On entering the floor I noticed a obnoxious smoke smell and immediately asked the bell boy if this was a Smoking Floor? I almost choked from the smell... more

We just returned from a quick girl's weekend to NYC. We booked the Wellington through Expedia and we were very happy with our experience. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and comparable to other rooms I have stayed in, in NYC. The room even had a small kitchnette. The hotel was very close to everything... more

We stayed at the Wellington from July 2-6. I was a bit nervous given all of the negative reviews of the hotel, but it exceeded my expecations. The hotel is in a great location and a easy walk to Central Park, the theaters, shopping and Times Square. The room was small, but clean and quiet. We had a corner room... more

Stayed at the Wellington from 7/1/08-7/4/08 with my 11 & 16 year old daughters. Location perfect. Steps away from Times Square, Rockerfeller Center, and Central Park. Subway stop right outside the door. Deli across the street for my morning java was very cheap. We got a great deal through Priceline.com, $120 a night, so I feel I have no room... more

Our family of 4 stayed at The Wellington this week for 2 nights and we all agreed that it was a great hotel. The people were nice the doormen were very helpful with the many questions we had! The room didn't match the the virtual room seen on the web site and the tub could have used a bleaching. We... more
