mansfield hotel, new york city

The parlour king room we had was miniscule. The extremely small closet had no floor space because of the mini bar. There is no comfortable place to sit other than on the bed. Two adults do not fit comfortably in the miniscule bathroom. The room needed to be painted, the blinds replaced, and there is no place to put luggage. Three out of the five days we were there we had to ask for hand towels and wash clothes. The halls are very small and most days the housekeeping carts blocked the way to the elevator. The lobby has several thrift store quality chairs and a large stain where a table was once placed. The registration desk is reminicent of a seedy hotel because the area needs painting, is cluttered with paper, and a table with coffee service is bumped up next to it. There was no complimentary breakfast or shoe shine. The much advertised cappucino machine was nonexistent. The concierge was usually not on duty. We were unable to change hotels because Travelocity deemed the rate we got a baragain and a "good buy" hotel and we had to pay in advance and in full. Because of the condition of the hotel and our room, the uncomfortableness of the room, and no real ammenities we do not consider this a bargain or a good buy.
Mansfield Review

This is a lovely hotel between 5th Avenue and Times Square. My friends who were staying at a larger and roomier hotel couldn't understand why we preferred to stay here but we like smaller and older. Our room WAS small but fun to stay in because it overlooked 44th Street, the bed was very comfy and although modern in decor, we still felt like we were in an old building.
My only complaint is since the rooms are little, their design could have been better thought out. The glass shelf over a very small sink makes it hard to conduct most activities that should occur over a sink. The refridgerator in the closet prevents the hanging of anything longer than a shirt and there were no luggage racks.
The plus side is that the staff was very nice helpful, the Continental breakfast was good and the fire in the cozy library was just what we were looking for on a bitter, cold afternoon.
great stay!

This was our 2nd stay at the Mansfield Hotel. The rooms are cozy, with nice amenities and comfortable beds. The study/coffee room is great for visiting and the M Bar is great for the free continental breakfast, plus after-dinner drinks and visiting. All types of coffee are available (free) around the clock and that was a plus for us. Location is very good. Most of the staff was very helpful. This time we stayed in a larger room in the back of the hotel, away from the street noise, and it was much nicer.
Petite rooms

When we arrived we were asked staight away if we wanted to upgrade our room for an extra $30 because the room we had booked had a small double bed and was very small. My husband and I are not tiny people so we opted to upgrade to a room with a queen size bed that was very adequate for our needs. However our window air conditioner was not working so we had to open a tiny window in the bathroom for air.
The hotel is well located, really beautiful and the staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful.
I would recomend this hotel but would advise the purchse of a suite with a queen size bed because the "Petite" rooms are exactly that ...A tiny room, very small bed and tiny bathroom ( although they all had tiny bathrooms)

Absolutely beautiful hotel! Wonderful stay and would defintly return. Everyone was very polite and helpful. Room was small (good for NYC standard), but very pretty. The beds were incredibly comfortable and just what was needed after walking miles discovering NYC. GREAT HOTEL AND GREAT LOCATION!
