Great location; clean spacious room
Stayed here for 6 days in Sept 2012. After staying at The Pod with its super small (albeit modern) rooms, the old world Wolcott was a welcome change with its spacious rooms although the bed coverings can be updated cos they looked as old as the hotel! Bed was comfy though and TV have lots of channels. No free coffee/tea in the room nor free Wi Fi are probably the only hindrance at this place. Coffee and muffins are served at breakfast which is a pleasant surprise as most US hotels don't serve free breakfast. Best bit is its brilliant location: just a few blocks away from Empire State Building, Flatiron district, Macy's, and all 4 tube lines. Not to mention lots of eateries, coffee outlets including 24-hour pharmacies in and around the place. Free Wi-Fi can be found at 34th Street front of Macy's, all Starbucks and even Wendys. Staff are not overly friendly but they are accommodating which is a great help. Maybe pricey for a solo traveller (I shared with a friend) but overall, definitely an option I will consider again when I return to New York.
