Algonquin Hotel - New York City, USA 
Address: 59th West 44th Street, New York City, 10036
Algonquin Hotel details:
Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the Algonquin is the hotel preferred by those who best appreciate New York -- a true landmark, with a tradition of elegance that began a century ago.
Superb accommodations and a gracious atmosphere make the Algonquin an oasis of polished sophistication amid the hustle and bustle of the city. The Algonquin was named one of "America's Ten Great Historic Hotels" by Historic Traveler magazine.
The Algonquin Round Table set the standard for literary style and wit in its era. For one glorious decade beginning in 1919, the Round Table was the scene of scintillating daily lunch meetings by a group of literary legends, which included Dorothy Parker, George S. Kaufman and Robert Benchley.
The Algonquin cat:
In the late 1930s a rather disheveled feline wandered into the hotel searching for food and shelter. Ever the quintessential host, owner Frank Case welcomed the furry traveler into the Algonquin and a tradition was born.
Matilda, the current resident, is very popular with our guests. She has the run of the house (except in dining areas and kitchen) but prefers to oversee the comings and goings of the many guests who cross her threshold.

The service was very good, but the rooms are small. Because I had one child with me for only one of the two nights, I requested two beds. The only two bedded rooms are twin beds. They ended up upgrading us to a king bed, but was disappointed with the size of the room and the inability to accomodate my request for two beds. This is the first time doing hotwire that I have had that problem.

The Algonquin hotel is OLD, and they seem proud of it. The decor is all turn-of-the-century (20th) themed. For those who are into that sort of thing, it's probably a great hotel.
The rooms were actually more nicely appointed than I thought they would be, although I still wouldn't write home. There was an LCD flat panel TV, probably about 32", however there was no HD programming. There was also an MP3 clock radio -- the same model you find in Hilton hotels... terrible sound, but it gets the job done.
The room was very small and a little uncomfortable.
All in all, I would not stay here again. However, if early 1900s decor is something you would like, then this is the place for you.
