The Paul Hotel NYC-Chelsea, Ascend Hotel Collection

A pretty bad surprise awaited us as the Paul Hotel no longer is accessible to the public. A flurry of activities, both phone and e-mail, finally landed us at the TRYP by Wyndham. Forget the Paul Hotel!

Out of order, looks cheap ….. tiny hall…had to wait for getting another accommodation into a breakfast room not clean, hope they will arrange for a better look. Apart this location is quite good, Manhattan center

They cancelled at last minute with no explanation. Trip put me somewhere else but I incurred additional$43 charge. Trip payed me back after several emails and phone calls.

The hotel should be able to provide light breakfast. But the room service is good and the location is very close to any restaurant and entertainment area.

It was great

Absolute worst experience. Room wasn’t ready - given keys and cleaning staff still in the rooms.

After reading reviews on this hotel before we booked we noticed they had quite a few bad ones… thought we’d give them the benefit of the doubt as I believe you shouldn’t solely go off other’s experiences. However, here’s another bad one… We didn’t even get the chance to come to the hotel as we’ve just had an email 6 weeks before our stay to tell us the hotel cannot fulfil our booking. Which ironically was amongst reviews we’d read prior booking. Disappointing really.

The Paul NYC is a terrible hotel. The hotel claims to be non-smoking but when we checked in we found that the room we were assigned to had a strong cigarette smell that almost knocked us out. We then had to scramble late at night to find a new hotel to stay at since there were no other rooms available. The front desk employee assured as that we would most likely get a refund as this was not our fault. I am severely sensitive to the cigarette smell and there was no ways a bit of air freshener would have solved the problem. To this day, the Paul NYC has been refusing to get back to us on the refund. They also continuously claims that the manage is out of reach. On top of our issues, the hotel seems to also have other maintenance issues as we overheard other guests complaining about incorrect room assignment and broken AC. I would suggest all other travelers to avoid staying here. This place is a scam.
