We had our first family vacation to NY and we chose the Belvedere because of the reviews, the location and the amenities. And it did not disappoint. The hotel is steps away from Times Square yet it's on a quiet side street, so we were able to rest at night without having to wear earplugs like other hotels. It is also 1-2 blocks from the subway. We came for the musicals, and it was within a few minutes walking distance.
There are so many good restaurants within .5 miles, so you will not go hungry.
We reserved a two double bed room. Even though the bed was smaller than we used to, it was comfortable. The mattress on my husband and my bed did have is rolling a bit to the center, but it was okay.
We loved the microwave, fridge and mini sink as well as the extra handheld shower head in the shower.
The maid service was okay. I wrote daily notes (with a tip) to ask for the items she missed the previous day and ended up writing them to thank her even on days we didn't need anything.
The bellman was super helpful checking in our luggage after checkout and also having a key for us to be able to use the rest room downstairs before we left. He told us that this hotel uses to be a residence, and there are still some who love in the rooms under rent control. I find this interesting.
Overall, we very much enjoyed this hotel and would stay here again.
