We have just returned from a week at the Blakely. The location of the hotel was great. The hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly. We had a king suite and the suite consisted of a king bedroom which was quite large and a sitting room with a twin day bed. We brought along a queen inflatable bed... more

We resisted advise to stay in the heart of Times Square & really enjoyed the location of the Blakely. It was convenient to the theatre, Central Park, TOTR, & the subway entrance. more

I have stayed here twice for multiple nights each time and the Blakely always gets it right. It sometimes feels like you're the only one staying there which in NYC is a blessing. Although I can't recommend the restaurant because the two times I ate there were pretty disappointing, I can say that the rooms, HVAC and public areas are... more

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
