Royalton Rave

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 15, 2021
I am nostalgic so being back at the Royalton despite it needing a bit of a refresh was terrific. The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms quite accommodating. I'm waiting for its post-covid come-back and a livelier lobby experience. But you can't beat the location, comfort, and uniqueness of this property. I appreciate the Royalton maintaining and preserving its design heritage. It was at the time it was created, an exuberant expression of hospitality with a unique design language. It represents a great period of design that too often has been demolished and replaced with drivel.

Standard room size with minimum amenities. Bathroom is not cleaned and maintaining the cleanliness is not feasible due to poor design of the room and unpractical selections. Housekeeping staffs do come early, be sure to place privacy card on the outside of the door if you are still in your room. Staffs are friendly and accommodating to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The staff was very accommodating and friendly, however the bar and restaurant are closed. Along with the dim lighting, the first floor seemed more like a haunted house movie set! It was very unsettling.

The room, bathroom, elevator, halls,etc.. were all dirty, the A/C barely worked in the room, it was extremely hot and uncomfortable. If you're looking for a centrally located hotel and don't care about cleanliness then this is your place.

First room was not very warm and inviting it also had switch problem that caused the light not to work when first entering the room which was also the closet and safe light very dark room in general. no art work at all. Switched to other room eleventh floor and it was nicer but had construction outside our window so had to keep curtains shut the whole time for privacy. First morning after leaving for the day came back to find room was not cleaned. Desk said we requested no cleaning. We were out of toilet paper and towels which they did bring up for us but we had to put our old stuff in the laundry shoot he would not do it. There was no coffee in room and because of covid no food service which we expected. But other hotels we visited a few months ago had coffee in room.

The place wasn’t too clean but the people who work there made sure it got clean after I brought it tot heir attention, they’re friendly and trying to do the beat for the costumer be happy which is refreshing comparing to many other places in nyc where they don’t care at all. I will probably stay there again I wish the bar and restaurant are open but that’s okay we can’t have it all right. The location was good the hotel room is sooo big compared to nyc I was super super happy about it and greta size bathroom and 3 closets which is superb. They don’t have mini bar/mini refrigerator but if you ask they will bring one to your room. The service is quickly and efficient
