Do not get it confused with the NY Helmsley, which is a few blocks away. The Helmsley Middletown Hotel was a great value for hotels in midtown Manhathan. It is very centrally located, just a few blocks away from St. Patrick's cathedral and Times Square. You can easily get cabs and it's pretty close to a Subway station too. I... more

I stayed at the Helmsley Middletown a few weeks ago in early August. I know that hotels in NYC are overpriced and run down, but this is such a dump. I would NEVER ever have booked it myself or would ever stay there for pleasure. They don't have room service, just 4 places that deliver food. They have removed the... more

Just returned from a 4-night stay at the Helmsley Middletowne. We booked online (can't remember which site) for $215/night. I did tons of research before booking, and was quite happy to get this rate, for a hotel in such a great location. This is an aging hotel, with really good-sized rooms. We were on the 6th floor (Rm 611) facing... more

I was anticipating the Helmsley reputation...the staff was helpful and the room generally clean, BUT....the drapery pin on the bed wasn't shocking, and the closed safety pin in the middle of the floor was OK, but the 1" nail in the middle of the floor was disconcerting.....toe molding away from the wall in the closet, a distinct musty odor when... more

This hotel is clearly the center of NYC. Spacious rooms. Usually good prices when using Expedia. They do a lite free breakfast and are dead on with suggestions of where to dine. Ask for Sal. more

My family and I have been a regular guest at the Helmsley Middletown for approximately seven years. We stay there at least twice a year. In 2006 we stayed there four times. Our March 2008 trip was just as lovely as all of the rest. We stay in their one bedroom suite. It is really like having an apartment away... more

The bad reviews featured by other hotel patrons are understandable when you consider it is an old hotel with few amenities. It certainly wasn't worth the money considering the lack of services, horrible cleanliness, and poor hospitality. I was unfortunate to get a room that smelled of curry spice that seeped into the room thru the vents from the Indian... more
