We stayed at the Blakely for 4 nights in early June 08. The room was very comfortable and a decent size. Bathroom was a touch small but this did not really matter. The rooms come with a small kitchenette which is useful. A complimentary breakfast of toast, cereal and juice/tea is provided each day. They do provide a cooked breakfast... more

We would recommend staying in the Blakely Hotel, New York. We stayed there for four nights and found everything great. The hotel room is nicely decorated, the bathroom a little small but was not an issue, staff friendly and helpful. The hotel provide a complimentary continental breakfast, complimentary internet service in lobby & also offer umbrellas, which was very useful... more

After reading numerous reviews on trip advisor we booked a suite on a high floor for 6 nights. We were not dissapointed. The room was very large with a large sitting room and beautiful appointed bathroom. Everything was exceptionally clean, beds were very comfortable and clean linen daily. It is New York so if you are a light sleeper -... more

We stayed at the Blakely last summer for 5 nights. Our room was placed next to the air conditioning unit (right outside our window) and sleep therefore was non-existent due to the noise. The following day they courteously moved us up one floor to a smoking room (we don't smoke) whereby the air conditioning unit was now just below us... more

We had a 6 night stay in The Blakely after choosing it from Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. This is the perfect place to return to after a hectic day in NYC. Our room was spacious with 2 queen beds, large flat screen tv, lots of closet and drawer space. The mini kitchen was a big plus.... more

My husband and I always wanted an apartment in New York and have decided that THIS IS IT! The suites are huge, love the kitchenette, the bed is so very comfy, the shower is PERFECT. Great attentive service from housekeeping, bell staff and front desk. Yes the coffee maker is a joke. (I wish the bedspread were not kept on... more

We really liked the location of this hotel - close to Central Park and just far enough from Times Square to avoid some of that madness. The room was a nice size, clean, and had all of the amenities. There was plenty of storage space and a nice kitchenette. More counter space in the bathroom would be nice. We appreciated... more

I do wish everyone would stop writing these glowing reviews of this perfect little gem of a hotel. How will those of us who consider it our secret possibly keep it from becoming common knowledge? Great location; helpful, pleasant staff; comfortable, attractive rooms and suites with wonderful beds and luxurious pillows. How can we discourage people from descending on the... more

3 of my friends and I stayed at the Blakely Mar 27 - April 2, 2008. We had 3 rooms and they were good sized as well as comfortable with a microwave and frig. One of us had stayed at the Trump hotels on previous trips and she remarked that the room she had here was bigger. I also have... more
