The Iroquois New York

The room was well appointed and clean and the hotel is well positioned on W44th between 5th and 6th, a stones throw from Times Square.

We were very disappointed with our stay at the Iroquois. Our booking made on 1st February for a 3 night stay commencing 24th July gave absolutely no warning that the hotel would be undergoing major refurbishment. No subsequent message was sent warning us that aside from a gym, there would be absolutely no facilities available on site. The breakfast advertised at additional cost had to be taken at another hotel nearby. There was no functioning bar or café and the restaurant had a sign saying “Re-opening Summer 2019”! There were sounds of banging and drilling during the daytime. During our stay, the hotel had only one functioning elevator for guests over 12 floors leading to waiting times of several minutes. We have stayed in New York on many occasions and our “Deluxe King Room” was one of the smallest of our many stays. The bathroom was tiny. Perhaps the clue is in the first word of the group title “Small Leading Hotels”. The room had the smallest closet I have ever seen which held precisely 9 hangers sideways on. No adequate room for setting up suitcases and no room to store clothes if you’re staying more than a few days. I used my case situated on the floor as a wardrobe taking care not to trip over it.
