NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

10/10 Excellent
"While not the most modern rooms in town, there was so much old New York charm to this hotel from the Art Deco fixtures in the lobby to the charming Tik Tok diner so convenient for a meal anytime of day! In the center of everything. One block from train station. Traveling with an elderly person to and from the Amtrak station was so easy! Plus, they allowed me to check in before 4pm. The double room was large by New York standards, had great beds a small seating area and a bathtub!! The view from the room was amazing. "
