The Algonquin Hotel Times Square Autograph Collection

Charming, historic hotel with tons of character just steps from Times Square. Loved the literary touches, the cozy Blue Bar, and the resident cat! Rooms are small but comfortable, and staff were welcoming and professional. A perfect spot if you want classic NYC vibes with a storied past. Tacos were amazing at the bar!

Had a great two nights at the Algonquin. The hotel is beautiful, quiet and stylish. I especially want to give a shout out to Jimmy for making us feel welcomed. We really enjoyed chatting with him throughout the days of our stay. All the staff are exceptionally kind and hospitable. I would love to come back! The only reason I didn’t give a full 5 star is because on our last night, some kind of gadget (maybe the AC unit?) was making a constant beeping sound that we couldn’t troubleshoot to turn off and it kept me up from about 4 am to 9 am.

The Algonquin was fine for a weekend stay, but I won’t be returning. The building is historic and charming, and the food and drinks at the hotel’s restaurant/bar were good. However, the front desk staff left a lot to be desired. I had two separate negative interactions with two different staff members; both were rude, short, and unwelcoming, even during a simple check-in. I’m typically very understanding, but the consistent lack of courtesy was disappointing. The rooms were fine, but the experience at the front desk really soured our stay.
