The Mansfield Hotel - New York City, USA 

"Great Staff, Great Location, OK Rooms"

We were relocated from the yet to open Hotel Mela and stayed 4 nights at the Mansfield. The first night I was not impressed. The room we had was very small and had no Air Conditioner on an unseasonably warm night. I asked the staff if I could be relocated and the next night they put me in a larger room with an A/C. After I was moved to the new room all of my expectations were met. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. I do not believe that my room had been renovated, but appeared to be in good condition. Unlike a previous review I had no problems with noise. I did notice a soft hum from a neighboring air conditioner, however, I was located in the back of the hotel on a high floor so I may have avoided some of the outside noise. I did not make it to the complimentary breakfast, however, I did see the spread and it appeared adequate. The free cappuccino machine and free wireless internet was a nice bonus. Tip: If you think that your room is small take a look at the floor plan on the back of the door and it will give you prospective on how your room compares to others. In my case I was in the smallest room on the floor and the staff was happy to relocate me when another room opened up.

The parlour king room we had was miniscule. The extremely small closet had no floor space because of the mini bar. There is no comfortable place to sit other than on the bed. Two adults do not fit comfortably in the miniscule bathroom. The room needed to be painted, the blinds replaced, and there is no place to put luggage. Three out of the five days we were there we had to ask for hand towels and wash clothes. The halls are very small and most days the housekeeping carts blocked the way to the elevator. The lobby has several thrift store quality chairs and a large stain where a table was once placed. The registration desk is reminicent of a seedy hotel because the area needs painting, is cluttered with paper, and a table with coffee service is bumped up next to it. There was no complimentary breakfast or shoe shine. The much advertised cappucino machine was nonexistent. The concierge was usually not on duty. We were unable to change hotels because Travelocity deemed the rate we got a baragain and a "good buy" hotel and we had to pay in advance and in full. Because of the condition of the hotel and our room, the uncomfortableness of the room, and no real ammenities we do not consider this a bargain or a good buy.

This is a lovely hotel between 5th Avenue and Times Square. My friends who were staying at a larger and roomier hotel couldn't understand why we preferred to stay here but we like smaller and older. Our room WAS small but fun to stay in because it overlooked 44th Street, the bed was very comfy and although modern in decor, we still felt like we were in an old building. My only complaint is since the rooms are little, their design could have been better thought out. The glass shelf over a very small sink makes it hard to conduct most activities that should occur over a sink. The refridgerator in the closet prevents the hanging of anything longer than a shirt and there were no luggage racks. The plus side is that the staff was very nice helpful, the Continental breakfast was good and the fire in the cozy library was just what we were looking for on a bitter, cold afternoon.

This was our 2nd stay at the Mansfield Hotel. The rooms are cozy, with nice amenities and comfortable beds. The study/coffee room is great for visiting and the M Bar is great for the free continental breakfast, plus after-dinner drinks and visiting. All types of coffee are available (free) around the clock and that was a plus for us. Location is very good. Most of the staff was very helpful. This time we stayed in a larger room in the back of the hotel, away from the street noise, and it was much nicer.
