Hiljainen huone sisäpihalle oli mukava. Hissit toimivat epävarmasti.

Thank you for choosing the Watson Hotel.

Standort ist gut, schnell zu Fuss im Central Park in Laufdistanz zum Times Square. Das Hotel ist sehr sehr sehr sehr alt. Da wurde seit mind 20 Jahren oder länger nicht renoviert. Zum Glück hatten wir starke Rabatte. Beim Vollen Preis wäre ich doch sehr enttäuscht

Die Lage war/ist super, ruhige Lage und in der Nähe vom Columbus Circle ⭕️ und Central Park. Pool-Deck war okay, aber zu viele Leute zur gleichen Zeit zugelassen. Reception und Room-Service is Great!
