Sherman's Expert Review

The latest buzz around this 85-year-old Midtown landmark is its new skyline addition, the rooftop bar, Mad 46. Opened in summer ‘08, the slender strip on high affords western city views, a casual ambiance – scattered umbrellas and wood benches and tables make up the simple decor – coolmore cocktails, and grub from the Roosevelt Grill downstairs. A popular spot come summer, guests of the hotel (along with the after-work crowd) are escorted through the interestingly ominous alleyway entrance at the base of the Madison and 46th St. corner and up to the stylish rooftop space. Aside from the fresh Hamptonesque flair on the 19th floor, the rest of the hotel is quite the contrast with rooms and public areas sticking to that classic old-world New York ambience. The impressive, massive lobby boasts neoclassical architecture with gilded accents and captures the essence of the hotel’s heritage. Catering to business travelers with plenty of meeting and event space, including the Grand Ballroom, one of New York’s few remaining traditional ballrooms, the hotel is always bustling with the occasional convention or the gangs of tourists eager to pursue their day in the big city. Rooms are simple and fairly staid compared to the grand public spaces, but with rates averaging around $200/night, who cares! The Roosevelt is a great value hotel for Manhattan and the location, just steps from Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, and the Museum of Modern Art, is clutch.

The hotel is very centrally located - just a block or two away from grand central station - in the mid-town area.  Its clean and the staff is pretty friendly.  It is a bit pricey though - but i guess that's sort of par for the course in NYC.My... more

"It has to be one of the best for this price..."

I took my son to NYC for a long week end, upon arriving at this hotel,it was the start of a great adventure for him. The hotel is located

Once again, I'm reviewing a hotel where I've never actually stayed.  And once again, I'm going to talk about their bathroom situation.  You'd think all I did in Midtown was search out the best places to relieve myself.  Well, everyone's gotta... more

The extra star is for the lobby and location otherwise eck!  I would expect more from a place like this.  We did make reservations for 2 double beds, we got for the first night 1 double bed in a room that didn't even have floor space.  How is... more

I stayed in this hotel for a business trip to New York. The location was fantastic as it was close enough to the hustle and bustle of places like Times Square, Penn Station, etc, but far enough away that I wasn't obligated to kick an Iowan in the... more

I stayed here on a recent trip to New York City.  Usually, I go for the bigger hotels like the Marriott or Westin but it wasn't within my budget.  Booked a reservation here through http://Hotels.com and was a little iffy reading the reviews ...... more
