The Location is The Only Reason to Stay at This Hotel
We were booked to stay at the Wellington for four nights, because I had booked the hotel as part of a package I emailed the hotel to confirm the hotel had our booking, it did. Upon checking in we were informed that ‘the previous occupants had missed their flight and that the hotel did not have a room available’ I protested that this was not my responsibility but the hotel was adamant. We were bumped over to the Milford Plaza Hotel for the first night (see separate review). Upon checking in at the Milford it quickly became apparent that many other guests had the same documentation that we had from the Wellington. How many families had missed the flight that day! 
The location is good especially for first time visitors, like us, but the rooms are small (not too much of an issue as you are in the what many consider to be the capital city of the world and as with all capital city hotels the rooms are small and cost a fortune). The decor was dated and shabby in areas. 
I will definitely be visiting NYC again, but not this hotel.
