 | |  |  | Ramada Plaza New Yorker: Somewhere to crash out!!!!!
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
We visited New York City also in the Summer of 2002 and stayed only for one night, here at the New Yorker.
This year in the summer of 2003 we again stayed here for two nights.
We thought the location was fine, tube station locally, and knew the layout of the land from here.
There is a fitness centre, shop and laundry in the basement. (access via stairs or escalator). You need your card key to gain access to the laundry and fitness centre, also the toilets that are located in the basement.
There is a coffee bar, a restaurant and a bar on site.
They did not have tea/coffee making facilities in the room though, and no hair dryer!!!!
Another thing struck me as odd, the reception area is absolutely huge and yet there is nowhere to sit!!!!! Sometimes people like to sit in the hotel lobby before they set off on their travels, or write a few postcards, purchased at the hotel and post them on your way out, and although there is a small cafe to one side, there is not a general sitting area!
There is also offices situated in the hotel, and a ballroom, although I never saw it. In fact quite a lot of famous people have visited this hotel/ballroom including John F. Kennedy. Leave a Comment

After booking our trip then reading reviews about this hotel i did have reservations about going, but once there they all dissapeared. I visited in September 2006 with my Boyfriend, the only thing that bothered us was the room was really small and as they were fully booked we couldnt change, but to be honest your in New York to shop and see the sights not sit in your hotel room 24 hours a day!
The room and the Bathroom where cleaned daily and the towels where changed every other day but if you saw the maids about they would change the towels whenever we asked.
Its in the best location i think to see everything as its basically in the middle of manhattan, ive stayed before near times square and had trouble sleeping because of the noise, Its literally 5 minutes to macy's, and the empire state building, its right across the street from penn station and madison square gardens, penn station is the main subway station which takes you all over New York so its easy to get to wherever you want on the island.
If you are going and landing in jfk i would say get the airbus as it drops you off right across the road from the hotel and only costs $15 instead of a cab you end up paying $50, then on the way back to the airport the hotel will offer you a private car to the airport to take you back in style, this costs $50 and its worth splashing out on this instead of wasting it on a cab as some drivers will rip you off as they know your a tourist.
The most outstanding thing about this hotel is the location, its a short subway ride 9around 10 minutes) to the world trade centre on the E train, and also century 21 is right across the street of the WTC.
Theres a laundry room, gym centre downstairs in the hotel and a little diner next door, which is really good value, its 10 minutes left to times square and 5 minutes to the bus station to catch the bus to woodbury common.
