My partner and I stayed in this hotel for a week, we'd booked a room with a king sized bed but they didn't have any available when we checked in, they said that the booking company (hotels.com) hadn't passed through the request. As this has happened to me before when not booking direct I think this us probably true. The...

We go to NY regularly and often stay with family but over the years we have stayed in a lot of the mid range properties, Algonquin, Iroquious, Shoreham, Mansfield, Bentley etc. We picked the Roger Williams because I got an excellent deal on a flight and hotel package which made the stay MUCH cheaper, do check out the prices for...

We found this hotel on an expedia search and having read the reviews gave it a whirl. For seasoned travellers visiting the big apple for the first time this place was such a find. The staff without exception were polite, courteous and very helpful. It is a quaint yet quirky boutique styled hotel with all the essential amenities. The gym...

I would say there is nothing very special about this hotel. It's clean, I like the area, the staff are fantastic and there is free internet. Really all you can ask for. Usually there rates are way too high so I don't stay there but I got a good deal that particular week. I was traveling for work but brought...

I selected this hotel through from a travel website. I never heard of this hotel, but the price seemed pretty reasonable. Upon arrival the staff was first rate. The room was to my liking, and when I requested if I could move to a room with double beds, the front desk clerk was more than accommodating. They even moved our...

Both parents and teenagers cannot say enough good about our recent weekday stay at the Hotel Roger Williams. The staff - from curb side to desk to wait staff - is the friendliest we have ever had in NYC. The decor as seen online seemed like it might be a bit 'off' but is actually quite charming, modern, and fun....

We stayed at the RWH for one night back in September 2010. I made the reservation through a "secret deal" on Travelocity and it was pretty reasonable (for NY standards). The hotel was perfect for what we needed. Very nice staff, small but modern and clean rooms, and a good location. I'd definitely stay here again.

Staff was extremely rude at desk, especially night staff. Told me I had a view of Empire State Building from room, but when I got there, I would have had to risk my life leaning out to see a tiny glimpse of the ESB. I checked my bill when I got home and realized I had been double charged for...

It is a boutique hotel so yes,,,,small... but if you don't want to stay "all the way" downtown the location of this hotel is perfect. I have to agree that the bathrooms are not great,,, the rooms- although not huge- are very nice. I would have to say in NYC it is one of my top 5 hotels right now!
