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 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! 😊
