The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection

Thanks again to the Algonquin and staff. Also, both gentlemen attending our transportation to and from the hotel did us right too. Our taxis were waiting on us as we stepped out every time. We also had dinner the night we arrived. The missus had the truffle fries and house salad. I had the burger and fries. They were both excellent. Cooked right, served right and attended to dutifully with a smile. To Marriott's credit they did do a classy job of moving the Blue Bar inside the lobby/dining room. Keeping the round table and giving it a hallowed spot in a cove is pretty sweet too. We'll be back, again.

The staff were professional and very friendly, from the desk, to the valet to the waiter. Hamlet oversaw check-in, was gracious, did't say much, probably had a long day, he did tolerate gentile petting ('H', is an orange tabby). In the morning we had a top-notch breakfast with excellent coffee. The location couldn't have been better as it was barely a five minute walk to The Town Hall, where our event was. Easy! If you appreciate history, art, theater, good food and drink (+ handsome feline concierge), this is a great place for a special New York experience.

For us, the location was perfect -- safe, near many good restaurants and other places we wanted to visit. We love the history of the Algonquin, and even though the hotel has been renovated, they have tried to maintain its importance in New York's literary history.

The meals and cocktails and staff were great; true to New York in general, food/beverages were very expensive. The historic nature of the hotel is wonderful, and the menus contain many interesting footnotes about the property!

Wonderful, renovated rooms in an historic midtown hotel! Fabulous bar food and service (great truffle fries and martinis). Breakfast was amazing - best French toast imaginable. Managed to feel both upscale and down home friendly at the same time.
