Highgate Independent Lawrence hotels

"The room was bigger than I was expecting for NYC. The vents could have used some dusting, but overall the room was clean. The staff at the front desk and parking were all very nice and helpful. The only comment I have is we did not have enough towels & wash rags in our room. On the way out to get dinner one night, my husband stopped at the front desk and asked them if we could have more delivered to our room but to please DO NOT enter the room as me and my children were in there alone. The lady on the phone repeatedly told whomever was on the phone not to enter the room and to leave them outside the door. While getting out of the shower, I heard a knock. I didn’t answer it but saw who was outside, figuring they’d leave them outside the door. Next thing I know the guy OPENED the door to my room. I yelled out to please leave them on the floor and to close the door. He did so, but did not follow a simple, but very important request. "

"Clean and very friendly staff, everyone was so nice. When you walk in there’s a Starbucks in the corner and lobby is beautiful. Would not stay again because the rooms are old and outdated. No microwave in any room, what’s so ever. Brought some pizza back and couldn’t eat it. Very old tv, it looks like a microwave. We got put in the wrong room but didn’t complain because we didn’t really mind even though the bed was smaller then what we paid for. Dock parking- 4day parking with hotel discount, $180 total."

"Great choice. Stayed for a week. Stephanie and the rest of the staff was amazing."

"The deposit upon check in is 500 dollars, which is fine because it’s returned but I feel this should be noted. Property charges 35 dollars per day mandatory, but they do allow you to use it in the cafe which I guess is nice. You’re basically forced to spend money there daily. The hotel is beautiful and clean, rooms are a great size for New York, beds are very comfy, and the bathrooms are stunning. Our mini fridge was broken and our curtains did not close all the way allowing a room full of light from Times Square the first night. They did fix these issues and gave us a room credit for the inconvenience. Most of the staff members were courteous and helpful. The noise from Times Square if you are on the lower floors is definitely noticeable, we slept fine but if you are a light sleeper I would def suggest getting a higher floor. Overall it is a beautiful hotel and great view, area, and size for the price point. "

"We loved everything about this property. So much so it will most assuredly be our go-to hotel when we visit NYC. HIGHLY recommend."

"The room is a little older some chipped paint but shower was good pressure beds and pillows comfortable, room had enough space. No issue with elevator at all and we were on 47th floor. Other than that its a great location the subway is steps away and had no noise at night. "

"Very good location right in Times Square great staff"

"Great price, middle of the action! Very noisy outside with horns, fire trucks, general New York action. I had trouble sleeping. The room was cozy, but not designed well. The bed frame had sharp corners that I have bruises on my knees from, and the wash cloth dropped into the toilet twice. I was surprised there was no central coffee, hot water for tea or microwave in the lobby, but when I asked, they brought an electric kettle to the room which was great."

"The hotel is located very conveniently to plenty of things. It is clean and well run. Had some issues with the shower turning on and draining, but otherwise the room was satisfactory too!"
