TripAdvisor: Finding the Right New York City Hotel
When planning a vacation or a business trip at a
hotel out of town, many people check out TripAdvisor to get a sense of the
experience of prior guests. The website
offers “unbiased hotel reviews, photos and travel advice for hotels and
vacations.”
Certainly, it's important to take a look at the rankings before deciding on a hotel in New York, or anywhere else for that matter. Shimmie Horn’s
Iroquois Hotel, for instance, was recently ranked Number 26 out of 435 hotels in the NYC vicinity (based
on 1053 TripAdvisor reviews). For the year 2012, the Iroquois Hotel was
awarded as being a winner of the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor.
Those who have stayed at the hotel made the following
statements on TripAdvisor, when describing their experience. These include: “the perfect place”; “great
location and very nice staff”; “clean and friendly”; “loved staying here”; “our
home away from home” and many more. Many
of Shimmie Horn’s guests rated his hotel a 5 out of 5 star rating as well. These reviews are current and indicate that
the hotel is consistently sticking to its high standards to ensure top level
customer satisfaction at all times.
The Chatwal, on West 44th Street, ranked
number 17 on the same list. It has been
described by recent guests as: “a really nice hotel in midtown location”; “excellent
service”; “retro cool”; a Great NY experience,” “Oasis.” Designed by
architect Thierry Despont, it has a cool Art Deco style which still works well
today. Each room in and of itself is a
work of art, “capturing the romance of the past while looking to the future.”
The Bowery Hotel in Manhattan’s East Village ranked number 42 on the list of top hotels in New York City by
TripAdvisor. Based downtown in New York’s
lower east side, this quaint hotel offers scrumptious meals in its Gemma
restaurant for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and more. Perfectly situated
between Soho and the East Village, it has been described as having a “homey décor,
big windows and large rooms.”
TripAdvisor is definitely a great starting point for those outside of
the area who want to book the perfect hotel for their stay in the Big Apple.
