The Hotel Newton

It’s fine, but how do these other reviews not have SHARED BATHROOMS in the first line?!? That’s a pretty big deal if that’s something that bothers you.
Hotel is serviceable, clean, affordable. The staff is very nice. But you’re SHARING BATHROOMS!

This hotel is well located for any event on the UWS. However, the rooms are tiny (even for NYC) and you will pay extra for services that are now standard at most other hotels (i.e., Internet and luggage storage).

I liked this hotel. In true NY fashion, it wasn’t very cheap — But it was nice for what it was and what I paid (compared to other area hotels). It’s centrally located — Quite a few good restaurants to try in the area. Loved that public transport was right there. The Subway is literally across the street. Also right around the corner from Central Park. I walked all the way through Central Park to get to most of the museums and it was a nice 30 minute walk. Central Park is gorgeous.
Tip: Fly into Newark or LaGuardia if you want to stay at this hotel — JFK is ridiculously far away from this hotel.
Not sure if there was on-​site parking but there was an upcharge for internet usage if you wanted. I didn’t want to pay the extra charge so I was thinking I could use my phone if I needed to… but I actually ended up using the Days Inn wifi and it was free. It wasn’t password protected either, so score for me!

Very Clean Basic Room
I stayed at Hotel Newton earlier this week and will definitely stay in the future. The room was quite small but spotlessly clean, including the tiny bathroom. The area is great — very safe and convenient to the Upper West Side. Best of all, the room was very reasonably priced. I didn’t need a view or a bunch of amenities I wouldn’t have been able to use. Just the ticket.

For the area this hotel isn’t bad. Since we arrived early they were able to lock our luggage up for us and were very welcoming. We thought for NYC the rooms were quite roomy, but the bathroom was small. We didn’t complain since we expected this. Loved how close it was to the subway also. The price of the rooms was very good for the area and we would recommend staying there to others.

The price is not bad for the money. I paid $ 150 CAD per night for a Superior room by going through
. I think it came with a Queen Sized bed. We got a rollout which costs $ 25 USD a night. The room was a good size and came with a TV and cable. The bathroom seemed clean and comfortable. The unfortunate thing that happened was that the electricity went off and on for a bit and then the AC went out just before midnight. A quick call to housekeeping. They took a while to solve the problem by using an extension cord but we were super tired after a long day in the city. Hopefully they get their wiring sorted. Also, beware. There was a stain on my duvet so make sure to inspect your bedding before you climb in. Also the wifi is not free at all even in the lobby (which they advertise to be free) but wifi is easy to find in New York.

This place cannot get much better. The price is first and foremost one of the better deals in the city. The Upper West Side is a great place to hang out and relax. I’ve done NYC enough times now that Times Square bores me. I want the real NYC when I go. UWS fulfills that, and then some. The Hotel Newton is located in a perfect area. you can see the subway station from where the hotel is located. CPW is just a short walk away. There are some quality restaurants in the same area, too. You’ll find plenty of snacky stops along the way, too including a great ice cream shop right next door. You cannot get much better than this. I’d give it 5 stars, but I don’t want people to get the idea this place is on par with The W or something like that. HOWEVER, they’ve updated the interior of the rooms to what you see in some of the pics. If I were the hotel, I’d have management take new pics since the ones on their web site show the old look that quite frankly makes it look like a Motel 6. The upgrades make the place look like a more upscale hotel. Beds were comfy. We like NOISE of A/​C so this window unit was great. If you cannot stand noise, then you might be out of luck. But in order for me to sleep I have to have white noise and this was PERFECT. Also, the AC kept the place nice and cool. The shower was clean and had a regular shower head and a hand held wand. Perfect for sore muscles after a day of walking and sight-​seeing. i would absolutely stay here again.

My adult daughter and I spent 4 nights at the Hotel Newton (Superior Queen). The room was pleasant, well decorated and quite big, with a large closet. Very clean, nice private bathroom. People at the desk were helpful. The price was affordable for New York. I would recommend booking one of the most expensive rooms, you will not be disappointed. If you want the «Deluxe Room/​2 double beds,» book it early as it doesn’t stay available for long. Hotel is close to subway, Central Park, Museum of Natural History, numerous terrace restaurants, etc.

I stayed here for three nights and I had a wonderful experience. I reserved a queen room but I got a room with two double beds, a lounge, and my own bathroom. I loved it! My friend got a really shitty room that was tiny and had no bathroom, and his experience was awful. Your mileage may vary.

Let’s start like this, I’m from Vegas and we have bigger rooms for the money, I had been prepared by friends that told us New York rooms Are small but oh my god. These where small, the front desk had some snooty not happy to be there people. They told us we could check in early normally the check in as at 3. But they where more interested in arguing then getting us assisted.

Great location and good prices for NYC. From reading other reviews, there may be a good amount of variation in customer experience, depending on room type. As a family of four, we stayed in a deluxe double and it was reasonably roomy, was serviceably furnished, and was quite clean. Hotel staff was very helpful.

Worst hotel ever. The hotel has bad service and bad facilities. You need to share bathroom with other rooms’ tenants! Worst experience ever in NYC.

The rooms are fine, but for some reason the staff has a very difficult time with what should be a simple billing process. I’ve never had to call four different times and send six different emails to pay for a single hotel room before – and I’ve traveled a great deal. I found the staff to be alternately incompetent and rude to the point of insulting, and it’s difficult to recommend that experience. Even a reasonably-​priced room in NYC should come with a minimum of professionalism.

I needed a reasonably priced hotel near Columbia University on the Upper West Side. This was the perfect solution.
My wife will never see this hotel. It’s not classy, it’s not romantic. It’s not close to Broadway theatres. It’s just functional. But for a couple nights attending a conference, it was all I needed. Small but clean room, adequate towels and linens, decent TV, friendly service at the front desk. Busy location on Broadway, with good retail alternatives nearby. I had no security concerns.
The location across the street from a major subway station was a great add-​on. I will be back.

I recently got married in the area, and my wife and I referred our out-​of-​town wedding guests to Hotel Newton. We wanted a place that was nice, yet affordable. Hotel Newton proved to be the ideal choice. Our family members (all of whom are from the Midwest) raved about the quality of the rooms and the quality of the customer service. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision.

This is a relatively inexpensive hotel right at 96^th street, close to the 1,2, 3 subway express stop. It is clean, which is our first criterion. Rooms are tiny but adequate. Air conditioner old and noisy. Single elevator excruciatingly slow. We paid $ 200 for a double bed and private bathroom. The lower rate has a clean single bath at the end of the corridor ($ 175). We got this because it is close to the NYC Triathlon starting point. Plenty of places to eat, especially a terrific diner next door for breakfast.

We recently got married and needed to secure about 8 rooms for guests from Colorado and United Kingdom. We actually live in NYC, about 3 blocks from the hotel. I contacted the staff and they gave me a tour of several different styles of rooms.
I CAN SAY WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER PRICED, CLEAN, SAFE HOTEL IN NEW YORK CITY THAN THE NEWTON. Period.
Clean, Well maintained, comfortable, and wonderfully friendly staff. GREAT!
The hotel is in a great location — right across from the local and express subway (1,2,3). You can get to Times Square in about 8 minutes via subway. The neighborhood is extremely diverse and a great cross section of New Yorkers — young, old, hip, ethnic, professional, you name it. Highly desirable, SAFE neighborhood.
There are lots of great restaurants, stores, delis, drug stores, cleaners, banks in the immediate area.
The staff is AWESOME! We had a glitch in one of our guests flights, and the front desk staff was professional, personable, and extrmely helpful in making it all work out. Excellent customer service.
We will always send our guests here in the future.
Highly recommend.

Pros:
— Very close to the subway.
— It’s in a quiet neighborhood.
— Close by to an organic food store that’s open 24 hours. Similar to whole foods market. Also, next to a 24 hour drug store.
— Front desk is knowledgable with the subway system. Explained it once and I had it down.
— Room has a fridge and microwave.
Cons:
— The room is tiny. I’m assuming since it’s New York I should expect a smaller room but I didn’t expect it to be this small. I’m 5’7 and it was cramped for me.
— Be warned. If you’re in room 914 the shower floor will sketch you out and make you want to do a double take before showering. The shower FLOOR heats up before the water heats up. I kid you not. Towards the back of the shower the floor is elevated. You’ll see steam coming out of it. You won’t be able to stand there for long. It will burn your feet. Don’t believe me? Ask for room 914 and try it out.
— At night you have to wait for hot water? Turn on the water for about 3 – 5 minutes before it goes from cold, to lukewarm, then to scorching hot.
— $ 5 a day for some wifi that can’t load anything? 56k status. My phones Internet is faster and more reliable. iPhone 4 on 3G Internet.

This is becoming my go-​to hotel when I travel to NYC.
It is a very good value for your money. The location is convenient and the neighborhood offers many conveniences.
I have stayed here twice in the last year and have another upcoming visit next month. The rooms, and more importantly the bathrooms, are very clean. While the bedspread fabric/​design may be somewhat outdated, I’m not really too concerned about that.
Only cons are that during my June visit the window air conditioner, «just barely» kept the humidity out of the room. And the internet charge of $ 5/​day is a nuisance, but not enough to keep me from coming back.

I booked through the hotel website directly. The value was one of the best that I could find for the location. The room was small but it served it’s purpose in providing a CLEAN place to sleep and freshen up. (room with private bathroom) I am not saying this is a 4 star hotel but you get the best value for your money. If I planned to come to NY just to stay in a hotel all day then I would have invested more $ in another.
Although check-​in was at 3 pm, we had a room at 12 pm upon arrival.
TV, air-​conditioning and a refrigerator was also provided. If the microwave is unplugged, do not plug it in and use it. (or it will blow out the fuse). The hotel staff was able to quickly restored power to our room.
Convenient location: right next to Duane Reed convenience store, subway station and many bakeries.
There is only 1 small elevator (but I don’t expect much since most of the NY buildings are old)
Service was quick, efficient and helpful.
