Honestly, it's not the worst money I've ever spent, but, it's close.
The internet photo's of the hotel are a testament to the capability of photography - with the light just right, maybe it looks like that?
It wasn't just the deceptive photo's, or the mention that they are closer to Time Square than they are...
On our second day, the LAST of three elevators broke - yes, we climbed 6 flights of stairs everytime we went to our room for TWO DAYS (we're lucky we were on the 6th floor). The remote in the room never worked (no big deal, but we called, they said they'd be "RIGHT THERE," NEVER CAME....). Next, the boiler went out - cold showers for all!!!!
So, I went down to talk to the staff - and guess what concessions they made?
ZERO....couldn't have cared less...
DON'T WASTE YOUR VACATION....GO ELSEWHERE

The Bentley is a great place to stay for a quick leisure visit to New York City. It's not your typical "American" hotel. The decor is distinctly European. The high point - literally - is the rooftop restaurant and bar. Great place to bring friends after dinner somewhere else. The view is really as good as they say. Service is good. The bar layout is comfortable for lounging with a group of friends. If you have the courage, go out on the terrace and look out over the city! Few places have a better view.
Rooms are small but comfortably laid out. Closet isn't very large -- great for a weekend, a little cramped for a week. High ceilings are a plus, making the rooms feel more spacious. Bathroom is outstanding -- best shower ever.
No free wireless or wired Internet. They want $14.95/day for wireless. Bummer.
Midtown location is convenient. The Ritz Diner, a block up 62nd Street is an outstanding place for breakfast.
If you're looking for typical American business hotel, this is not the place for you. If you want something different and eclectic, you'll enjoy the Bentley.
Bentley... Wow

The hallways are very dark... not real safe, elevators take forever, and the concierge was not helpful at all... when asked if he had a map of the subway, he told me to try the subway, also... they Hotel double billed my credit card, causing me overdraft, and it was difficult to get someones help. The rooms were warm during the day, and cold at night, if you could sleep with the noisy A/C unit. On the bright side, the Bentley Hotel is well located and the doormen were nice.

Bentley Hotel is a small but very charming hotel with incredible city views both day and night. Enjoyed speaking with the staff. Boutique atmosphere seems to makes the experience more personal and enjoyable. Would stay there again and even if not staying at this hotel I would come by for a drink on the deck and check out the view.
Also loved the neighborhood and restaurants. Lots of pubs close by.
