    • I can't believe I forgot to take pix of the roosevelt....its a bit old and rickety in places but by no means a dive.
    The service I got was great....had to get used to the tipping thing again.
    The room was fine - shower decent....but I liked the old world charm as opposed to the cold 5 star hotels out there now. Plus the history - knowing that the old stars used to grace the hallways - its has a lovely ambience!!
    Didnt order room service which was extortionate anyway - but nip to the deli next door for your english breakfast tea etc!!! You'll save so much.

    The atmosphere of an old hotel was charming - to me anyway!!!

    One avenue away from SHOPPING (Fifth Avenue!!!!) - my idea of heaven - a blokes idea of hell!!!! LOL!

    Lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel

    The Roosevelt is a luxury hotel that comprises an entire block in midtown manhattan, it is conveniently located near Grand Central Terminal (it even used to have its private underground passage to GCT at one point). It opened in 1924 and is named in honour of President Theodore Roosevelt.

    The hotel was renovated recently. Standard rooms are fairly spacious in Manhattan terms.

    The atmosphere here is quite unique. With roughly a 1000 rooms and its huge ballroom this is a big, classy hotel, but it is also a little dark, and sort of intimate.
    This must have been one of THE hotels in Manhattan during the heyday of the railroad, and I think it still has a name to live up to. Believe it or not, on one night there was a reception in the lobby and on our way out we (litterally) ran into Elton John :D

    As for value for money, this is a good but pricey hotel. For instance, the prices for breakfast/lunch/dinner are way too high in my opinion, and don't even think about using the phone in your room for anything other than a local call - what they charge is just ludicrous. On the plus side, there's a really good deli with a buffet next door, and the location (with Grand Central around the corner) is hard to beat. The area is clean and safe, and even rather quiet at night (in midtown Manhattan terms, that is). So if you're not on a budget, this would be an excellent family hotel.

    It took us forever to select a hotel when visiting NYC. We finally decided on The Roosevelt, and were not disappointed. The rooms were a little small, but I think that is pretty common for NY. The hotel staff was very friendly, the hotel is in a great location, and the hotel deli was perfect for a quick snack morning, afternoon, or evening. Walking distance of most major attractions, and the nearest subway was only a few blocks away.

    • We were a little bit disappointed in the size of the room, the tattiness of the bathroom and the fact that the smoke alarms kept going off in the morning just as you were waking up! Not good for the nerves! If you like shopping or really want to be in the centre of it all, Roosevelt is a good a place as any - we would return again with family in tow. I was taken ill on our last night there and they were fabulous. Word of warning - make sure that you carry your bag with passports etc up to the room - our porter left my partner's bag outside the room, but thank heavens no-one took it!

    The foyer is simple stunning at Christmas-time, with the most beautiful Christmas tree - our new digital camera didn't do it justice. Fabulous location for Times Square, Chrysler Center, Empire State Building and Saks, right on Madison Ave and 5th Ave.

    This old hotel named for Teddy Roosevelt was recently renovated to the tune of 3 million dollars.

    This hotel is one in which I actually stayed myself albeit 20 years ago. At the time I was working summers as a tour guide for Globus Gateway. They used this hotel then for their tours.

    This is a hotel with history to it.

    The Roosevelt Hotel was named from Theodore Roosevelt. the 26th President of the US, in office 1901 – 1909. The hotel opened in 1924.
    I myself have stayed here several times and everything was all right. The only issue is the elevators. It could take a lot of time to get an elevator that isn’t full of guests and luggage.

    Right in the heart of midtown. The location is great, a few minutes from grand central station and Times Square.

    • After the Comfort Inn experience it was great to stay here. It cost a fair bit more but was worth it. The value for money for hotels in NYC wasnt great compared to Sydney (and most places) but the cost of the Roosevelt compared to the Comfort Inn definately was!!! Its in a convenient spot a walk away from Times Square and the Empire State Building. If you are heading to NYC and have the extra $50 to $100 a night to spend on accomodation then dont hesitate to pay for a hotel like this one.

    One night while we were at the hotel there was red carpet and a heap of photographers outside. We never did find out what was going on but it shows you that the hotel is quality. Im really sorry that we dont have any photos but just jump on their website.

    • Problems with Roosevelt Hotel in New York City: At 2:20 am the front desk calls & says they had a complaint that our TV was too loud. I told the woman that they were mistaken because our TV was not on and we had been asleep for hours. as my sis and I are 62 & 64 yrs. old.She then said I am warning you that if this happens again security will be called to knock on your door. I explained again that she was mistaken but she was very rude and continued to threaten me. I went down to the lobby and she was the only one there and I asked for the manager and a man came to me with a phone in his hand.I made a complaint with the night manager and then again with the day manager the next day.I was told that they would get back to me but no one ever did. We were not able to go back to sleep that night and because we were so tired we missed the Broadway Show that we had paid for.We were there for several more days and no one ever contacted us. When we left on 3/01 we both filled out a comment card and explained the incident. We have not heard anything from them at all-from the Hotel. They woke us us in the middle of the night for something we did not do, then threatened us.We were awake the rest of the night.It was a terrible and costly experience. The room was fine but the "view" they said we had the the inside lower roof of the hotel with the air conditioners and the others wall of the hotel. The TV was good..

    nice pool.
    Our window viewed the air conditioner units and the other wall of the hotel

    • We stayed at the Roosevelt from 8th -13th march 07, The hotel foyer had a"historic" atmosphere but spoilt by the fact that you can,t keep your room after 12-00 check out, so foyer is generally full of people waiting to leave and their luggage, reception was efficient to the point of being clinical, Doorman always willing to assist on arrival for a perceived tip, but found it near impossible to hail a cab, probably more to do with the main entrance to the Hotel being in a cross town street than on a main street, Concierge was generally bright and cheerful but when asked could she confirm our pick up to Newark she told us she couldn,t possibly, as we were using a competitor!!!!gee thanks, Rooms were clean reasonably sized with comfy beds, lounge bar was always busy, more to do with size than prices but I would most definately recommend the location not least for its proximity to Grand Central Station, all in all the plusses outweighed the minuses so would recommend to others. Just a note about Supershuttle from Newark to the city, there ain,t nothing super about this shuttle, 45 minute wait at airport for pick up, general confusion at the desk, and a Drive like the "wacky races" in both directions, hire a recognised cab or limo.....

    Lingering historical quality
    location
    good beds
