“A great location for a great value!”
A great hotel and wonderful location! Easy access to subway stop, and right in the middle of the action. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the size of the room. There were two of us, and it was snug in there. But honestly, we were only there to sleep, not like we were hanging out in the room. Would definitely stay there again, and plan on it!
“Excellent location!! Clean and quiet.”
The location of the Washington Jefferson is outstanding.. a very quick, safe walk home from Broadway shows at night (without being in the middle of the craziness), and walking distance to the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Plaza, Central Park and great shopping. Room was small and basic, but clean and quiet at night; found staff very friendly and helpful. It was peaceful to be on a residential side street (complete with flowering trees), with easy access to whatever you need:great restaurants, delis, drugstore, banks, etc. on the main avenues.
“Great location!”
Great hotel! Very helpful staff! Amazing location, close to everything!
“Excellent”
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They answered all of my questions. They pointed me in the right direction. They got me a cab when necessary. I'm coming back here when I visit my son.
“Petite hotel was a good deal!”
We were told at check in that this was a "petite" hotel and it is. We were there one night, so it was okay that the room was small - but if there is more than one person and you're in the room for a longer period of time, you may need something a bit bigger. It was clean and beautiful, on a quiet part of 51st Street, although street noise at night was loud. We asked for extra blankets just in case but found we didn't need them. Bed was comfy, bath was compact and gorgeous - loved the toiletries/amenities. No complaints at all as this hotel was very close to Times Square, the Theater District, and just a short walk to Rockefeller Center.
“Lovely, comfortable stay. Would stay there again.”
Hotel was extremely clean and comfortable. Staff were more than happy to help and went above expectations.
“Can't wait to go back”
Excellent place and I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Very clean and convenient which is very important to me. Service staff were very kind and wonderful!
“Great Little Place”
Ok, the rooms are tiny, but if you're willing to deal with that (how much room do you actually need anyway?) and don't have £1000s to throw away visiting this very expensive city, then this hotel is perfect. On nearly every front it's comparable to its more more expensive neighbours. The location is excellent - Times Sq a five minute walk away, excellent restaurants and fast food places two minutes away, a subway station nearby, and it's on a quiet street (for Manhattan). The service is great - lovely staff, very helpful. The room standard is great - nice fixtures and furniture, a/c, clean, in good condition. What they scrimp on to get you the comparitively low price is the square footage, but I'd rather cut down on that than cleanliness or condition. Wouldn't you? I'll be staying here again if I ever return to NY.
“Best stay in theater district”
It's been a few years since I've been to New York, so things could have changed. But WJ was head and shoulders above the other hotels I've stayed at in the neighborhood. Rooms were small but clean and nicely designed. Desk staff were extremely helpful in making arrangements for my 85-year-old mother. Location is a short walk to theaters, but the street itself is (relatively) quiet. Next time I need to stay in that area, I'll definitely be back.
“Small but very nice”
Room was tiny, but clean. Customer service was fantastic!
