Rinconada Holidays

It is sad to see the Royalton in its current condition. Once a popular gathering place with a bar scene and restaurant now it has neither which makes the huge lobby area seem very empty. That said, the 44th street location is still very convenient! My room was clean but definitely in need of an upgrade. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The Williams was somewhat old an tired. While you enter into a lively first floor, the upper floors where the hotel rooms are located give off a concrete jungle kind of prison vibe. Concrete floors absent carpeting and a white paint scheme showing lots of bumps and marks throughout did not improve what was already an austere decor. Carpeting in rooms and hallways would help. There was a significant lack of outlets for charging electronics. The room was a decent size for Midtown Manhattan, but was completely devoid of warmth or charm.
