Wingate by Wyndham New York Midtown South/5th Ave

I had a pleasant stay at the Wingate by Wyndham in New York Midtown South. The staff was generally helpful, and I’d especially like to mention Mr. Tenzim, who was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. He went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed.

Excellent location, a 10 minutes walk from Grand Central Station and around 7 minutes walk to Times Square. Easy access to the subway/buses. The room was very small but we knew already and it didn't represent an issue for us, we had all the space we needed. Very comfortable bed, big TV screen, good choice of teas and coffee in the room, great water pressure from the shower. Complimentary breakfast is a big plus - too bad they didn't have any dairy free milk/options in general, but it was good overall. We would recommend it for a couple/friends travelling together.

The location is excellent in Midtown Manhattan, within walking distance of Herald Square, 5th Avenue, Bryant Park, Grand Central and several subway stations. The breakfast has options of fruits, bagel, breads, coffee, tea, waffles, cereals, yogurt and eggs, enough to start the day. In NY, it is rare to find accommodation with a cafe in this price range. The room is small, but it is possible to accommodate two people, with little luggage. The bed is comfortable. The shower is great. The facilities are new. It is worth highlighting the cordiality and efficiency of the reception team, always attentive, friendly and kind. The possibility of early check-in, even with a small fee, made all the difference on the day of arrival.

The location is very central, close to places to eat, shop, and visit, and Grand Central Station, where I arrived from JFK Airport. I walked everywhere from the hotel. I also liked the view from my room, leading to the back of several cool buildings with fire escapes, rooftop water towers, and amazing architecture. Took lots of photos. The breakfast was decent, although I missed more fresh fruit and cold cuts/cheese. But fine. They even had a machine to make your own waffles.

Great location - though 37th is a busier street than some others. Easy to walk to all locations we wanted to get to, and good access to subway. Very comfortable rooms (and the Empire State Building views were stunning!). Only 4 rooms per floor so nice and compact. Beds and pillows comfortable. Good water pressure and hot water. Didn't have included breakfast as too crowded day 1, too late day 2 and too early day 3.
