Fabulous charm with updated extras
The Barclay is clearly one of the finest older hotels in New York City. It has a great location and the lobby alone is worth a visit. My room *booked through Hotwire was smallish but had a great bed and added luxurious features that you would expect from an InterContinental. Great fitness center. Depending on what you pay, it could be a very economical and enjoyable choice. There were some very loud guests in the hallway at 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., but that was the only problem I had!
