The Washington Hotel NYC

This is a good value hotel in a good location. No frills, no luxuries. But a perfectly satisfactory room.

My only complaint is the lack of either an in-room coffee maker or an on-site coffee station. I have to go outside the hotel to a local cafe to get coffee in the morning.

Great location and the room was spacious with a nice view.

Missing a few basic amenities like a way to make coffee/tea in the room, water on the floor, etc. if that matters to you.

Location

I booked because the first time (in 2023) everything was amazing here. - Good value at a good location and a nice view (for now, WTC 5 could come in front in the future). Sadly the quality has gone way down since 2023.

Staff is clearly there without wanting to be there. Also don't try to call the place... I tried 20x and only got someone on the phone once. Answering in chat also seems hard for them, guess they have to much to chat about with each other instead. Also very clear the owners are not intent on keeping this place in order as there are 1.001 visible issues from the lobby all the way to the room. They are no longer investing in keeping the propery (also, maybe because WTC 5 will at some point be built in front?). Some examples: toilet keeps running (turned off the faucet behind), bedboard has screw sticking out, lighting in the lobby coming loose, general scuffyness of everything, only 1 elevator working to the lobby, only 1 (sometimes 2) from the lobby to the rooms. MJ smell in the hallway of our room on the day of arrival was peculiar to say the least. I don't mind, but others might. Only thing I was worried about was potential fire hazard that comes with it.
