My stay at The Historic Blue Angel Hotel was quite pleasant overall. The cleanliness of the hotel and room impressed me consistently, and I appreciated the friendly staff who were always eager to help. However, I did find the room size a bit on the small side, which is typical for NYC but still something to consider for future guests.

My stay at The Historic Blue Angel Hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was very convenient, but I did notice that the neighborhood felt a bit quiet in the evenings. The rooftop courtyard was a lovely sunlit spot to relax, even though my room was on the small side. I appreciated the cleanliness and the friendly staff, particularly Marcos, who was very helpful during my stay.

My stay at The Historic Blue Angel Hotel was quite a pleasant surprise overall. The location was perfect; just a short walk to Central Park and other attractions. The cozy room felt clean and comfortable, though it lacked some drawer space. I gotta admit, the staff's friendliness was a real highlight, but the lobby felt a bit cramped when trying to re-pack my luggage.

I had a pleasant stay at The Historic Blue Angel Hotel. The room was smaller than I expected, but it was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near subway stations and various dining options. I appreciated the friendly staff but was slightly put off by the lack of a full-length mirror in my interior room. Overall, a great option for a budget-friendly stay in NYC! 😊
