    The views from my window were absolutely breathtaking, showcasing the bustling city below and the iconic skyline in the distance. The employees were very understanding and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. I only wish I had gotten the names of the ones who helped me during our visit. One memorable interaction was when the concierge went out of his way to recommend a hidden gem of a local restaurant, which turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience.

    The bland decor of the property didn't quite match up to the vibrant energy of the city, but it was a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic stay.

    The dining scene at The Watson is a foodie's dream come true, with hand-cut steaks that will make your taste buds sing like a jazz band in Harlem. The rooftop bar serves up killer cocktails with a side of skyline views, while the lobby lounge whips up dishes so good, they're practically a love letter to the Big Apple. Nearby gems like Jake's Saloon and Masseria Dei Vini are a culinary journey through the city's flavors.

    We traveled with a pint-sized gang and snagged a room with two double beds, but the lack of a fridge put a chill on our stay. The elevators are the real drama queens here, with wait times longer than a Broadway show intermission.

    The Watson Hotel in New York is a decent choice with spacious rooms, good Wi-Fi, and a convenient location near attractions and subway stations. The breakfast is average, and there are many dining options nearby. Despite this, the hotel's central location allowed for easy access to landmarks such as Top of the Rock, St Patrick's Cathedral, and Broadway, fostering family bonding. the leisure facilities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a TV room, offered relaxation opportunities during our stay. The staff, although helpful in some areas, displayed inconsistency in service quality.

    This place is pretty big, and they've got a nice pool that's well-kept. It's in a good spot for checking out all the sights, which is cool. Our room had a desk for writing and even a kettle for making a cup of tea. 🏊‍♂️

    During my transit in New York, I stayed at The Watson Hotel, and I found the location to be incredibly convenient, only 15 km away from LaGuardia Airport. The easy access to transportation hubs like Columbus Circle and 50th St. Station made it a breeze to explore the city or continue my journey.

    The check-in process was lengthy as they had trouble finding my reservation, causing unnecessary frustration after a tiring trip. the room was a bit cold, which detracted slightly from my comfort during the stay.

    During my stay at The Watson Hotel, I was impressed by the convenient location in the heart of Manhattan, making it easy to access transportation hubs and major points of interest. The proximity to 50th St. Station and LaGuardia Airport made my transit seamless and stress-free. the rooftop pool, sundeck, and bar provided a delightful leisure option during the summer months, adding a touch of relaxation to my busy travel schedule.

    The only minor setback during my stay at The Watson Hotel was the initial interaction with the staff regarding payment issues. Although the young man I encountered was proactive in offering a solution, the first encounter with the young lady left me feeling slightly unsettled, as it seemed she was not very helpful or interested in addressing the issue.

    Large units with great view, comfy beds, as example, and absolutely kind staff. A great selection of outstanding food. Upscale hotel in a central location close to a subway stop.

    The price was jaw-dropping and the cleanliness was on point. The elevator was an interesting addition to our experience, feeling like a part of elevator inventions research. The location was excellent, near popular attractions and restaurants. The rooms were large, allowing for fresh air and the bar area was nice with a friendly staff.

    Relaxing and modern place, I liked to be here.

    My decent sized and new-fashioned room came with comfortable beds, a refrigerator, coffee maker. The design was nice. The location was magnificent and incredible, just off the best sites of NYC and the personnel as well as Central Park and Times Square under 20 minutes.
