Hotels in Harlem, New York

Me and Harlem go way back. Aloft Harlem used to be my go to hotel before I started staying more on the lower east side. In fact, a Marriott employee who used to work at Aloft directed me to this brand new, just opened hotel. I was excited to return to uptown and stay in this spot! I wanted to love this hotel. I don’t like giving lackluster reviews and feeling like a Karen. But over two nights, the transgressions just piled up. I’m a Marriott ambassador who stays in hotels about 240 nights a year. I never bring up my status. This might be the first time I actually uttered in frustration, “it’s September and I’ve already spent 27,000 dollars at these hotels, why is this so hard?” Upon checkin, it took almost an hour. This is even more frustrating because my first night was business and my company always sends a spending authorization. Two days in a row I checked with the hotel to see if they had received the authorization. They lost the first one. They mismanaged the second one. I always call or chat ahead to ensure a smooth checkin. It was still a mess when I arrived. The room was a “Central Park view.” I should have known better; I don’t know why I believed this title. I know New York geography better than that. I was looking into a building. Central Park facing or in the direction of Central Park shouldn’t be called central park view. I had changed from the city view to the Central Park view before arrival and I guess I’m glad I did because while they were trying to figure out my reservation they mentioned they had oversold the city view rooms. I will say the black out shades do a great job. The bed was fine. Sheets were a little co****. This hotel costs close to what a Moxy costs, so their sheets should be comparably smooth and comfortable. The bathroom was an absolute joke. Maybe not all the rooms are like mine, but mine may as well not have had a door. As you can see in my photos, the door is for “art.” There is a huge gap where you can see everything! Like probably 12 inches or greater of a gap! Who designed this and thought it was a great idea?! Glad I was alone. The air unit is SUPER loud. Doesn’t bother me as much since we usually have a fan on at home, but it was so loud that when it came on, I had to turn the TV up. It will likely bother some people. And you can hear everything through the walls. Oh, and the toilet clogged twice. And one of the days, the hot water was off all day for repairs, though that’s out of anyone’s control. It’s just giving context to a very un-relaxing stay. Back to the front desk mess—I later noted a destination fee on my bill (I had two separate bills because one night was business and one was personal). I don’t mind destination fees—I’ve had them at many Marriott properties. But I was never informed of this one. I even asked at the restaurant, and they had no idea. I finally went to the desk and asked and they explained I should have been given vouchers for each ni

Great budget hotel To stay around Harlem !

I was in NY to visit my daughter at her college. I was pleased to find a hotel room close enough to avoid wasting time in commute. I arrived to check in about 4:30pm and was immediately met with a front desk worker who was irritated, flustered and behaving unprofessionally. Apparently there were issues with the washer/ dryer that caused it to take longer than usual to to clean and prepare rooms. I had to sit in the small lobby to wait for my room to be ready. Eventually I had to go into the room while she finished cleaning around me. Didn't get into the room until after 6pm. However, the young lady cleaning the room was friendly and it was clear she was trying to make the best of a bad situation. The worst part of my stay was yesterday to come. That night the air conditioner broke and blew either no air or hot air. I emailed the manager repeatedly and then she just stopped responding. It was so miserably hot in that room, that I barely slept! I spoke to the front desk at check out, she empathized and even said that this problem had been happening before. Why would you rent the room if you knew the AC wasn't working? Never heard anything back from management. Towels and washcloths were horrible. Felt like a rag to use for cleaning. I was happy to find this place but their poor customer service turned me off! I would find somewhere else to stay!

Love this hotel, small and cozy and pretty. the front desk is very helpful and polite. they gave us senior discount and we travelled from Canada. its served the purpose well, the United Palace theatre is just 10 min walking distance. The only issue is the water leaks from the shower stall when we shower.. for (queen bed suite ) the reason is its narrow, which is understood for small suite. I would give 5 stars in spite of it. The hotel staff comes and cleans it right away, as we did not expect it. they were willing to provide the needed things. Book it with confidence. So, pretty, and clean. Trust there are no MICE, because in the street outside there are plenty, looks like they keep it out of mice.

Only cons is that room is super small. Came from another state in US therefore me and friend had 4 huge luggages. We could only open up one and even that, we had to utilize our bed as there’s no extra space to put it, the walking space alone is very little. Location is good though, easy to go around - loved the fact that the subway is less than 5 mins walk. Service and cleanliness can be improved.

We chose the hotel for the second time this year, and it did not disappoint. We received the same attentiveness and carefree rest as the first time. Maintenance and renovation also took place in the time between the two occasions, which I can confirm, as we requested and received the same room both times, which we were pleased with. We almost came home, we felt at home. The staff is wonderful, conscientious, self-sacrificing. They are extremely attentive, we asked for and received a refrigerator and microwave. We love its location, its surroundings are calm, safe and spacious. Shopping and transportation options are easy to solve, with Hudson Jersey in the background it's beautiful. Thank you for letting us spend Christmas with you, we already want to go back! Grateful thanks!

Excellent hotel with a gracious and helpful staff. Great lobby with good food/beverage options. Only issue is the rooms are very small but with great showers.

Location is the greatest advantage of this hotel. Less than 1 min by walk from Yellow R & W Subway Whitehall South Station Exit. This hotel has 40+ floors, but 3 guest lifts only. Long waiting time for lift was annoying. The air-conditioning unit was noisy, as it started on/off intermittently all the time. The shower room is tiny, it was just enough room for an adult to turn around the body. The design of shower room glass door was poor, as the bathroom floor would get wet when open the glass door.
