Renaissance New York Hotel 57

This is a rare affordable hotel on the East Side of midtown Manhattan - a good location if you're shopping or hitting museums and other attractions on the East Side. It's remarkably quiet - a rare feat in Manhattan. It's a bit bare-bones, not a full-service hotel with all kinds of amenities, but the neighborhood has all you'd want for food and other services. The hotel's a historic building but has been thoroughly modernized and was in good condition. My only complaint was the baggage porters need a better system for managing luggage - a lot of tour groups stay here and things get crazy in the lobby sometimes.

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel! Firstly, they let me check in really early and gave me a high floor, corner room. It was extremely spacious and clean with adequate pillows and linens. Very impressed.

Great time! Minor issue with bed not ready for kids on arrival was sorted out. Bed v comfy and shower Was great. Service staff excellent. Hotel is not that clear about what it has on site really. No room info or local advice folder in room that you might expect for tourists Fridge is an extra but hotel has ice machineson even numbered floors. No restaurant on site but breakfast for platinum members or 25 dollars a head I was told. As it happens there is a great breakfast place next door but not mentioned by reception staff for some reason. We went there everyday. I would go again as v close to Central Park and a good breakfast.

Perfect place for a weekend getaway. Close to Central Park and other things we had planned to do. Walkable to many great restaurants and attractions.

Not up to Renaissance standards — don’t even have room service
