Hotels Wyndham Midtown 45 at New York City

Opened in 2004, this 33-story hotel is in a great location in the Midtown East area. Within easy walking distance you will find Park Avenue, the United Nations, the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station. While not as glamorous as some of the more upscale boutique hotels, the bamboo floors, clean lines, soft velour curtains, and fresh orchids give a serene ambiance to the 203 spacious guestrooms. In keeping with the hotel's modern feeling, all rooms include 30-inch flat-screen TVs and DVD players.

The Alex consistently gets rave reviews for the generous size of its rooms and suites; the comfortable beds, the tasteful furnishings, the hi-tech amenities, and the bathrooms. It represents a great value in this price category.

Also the hotel's restaurant Riingo gets rave reviews for its cuisine by star chef Marcus Samuelsson, who also runs top restaurant Aquavit.

Wyndham, you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!! This is the absolute worst Wyndham stay. We checked our bag because we got there before the room was ready. When we got our bags a couple of hours later, the gentleman was rude to my husband because he didn’t tip him. We are owners at the resort and don’t feel like we need to tip that guy. Perhaps we are wrong, but there is no excuse for rudeness. The room was a one bedroom and we liked the decor. It was older so it was clean but no super clean. We realize the older a place gets, the harder it is to make it sparkle. No complaints there. However, we had a towel that looked like it had bugs (this is the second NY hotel that is like this. The other one was not a Wyndham). Look over your linen, people. If it has black spots that looks like a dead bug, get rid of the bug or throw the towel out. Yuck!
The only bright part of this place was Brittany, who is in charge of activities. We painted a picture. When we checked in there was only 15-20 minutes left and she let us paint for as long as we needed and we didn’t feel rushed. She is very personable and professional! She is the only one. Brittany 5 stars. Wyndham 0 - they really need a category for no stars on Trip Advisor.
We were told that they had arranged for us to have an update about some things (what she mentioned was different from the update we just had a couple days before) so we said okay. We were going to get tickets to the hop on-hop off bus for our time. We were supposed to go at 8:00am. They call to confirm at 7:45.
We go down there and they said we are not going to get the breakfast or tickets because they made a mistake. You just called to confirm less than 10 minutes before. Get your act together! Your mistake shouldn’t cost us. Whatever happened to integrity, Wyndham?!
Anyway, we then had to buy tickets.
We ask for 24 hour tickets since we are going to leave the next morning and the woman at the check-in desk talks us into buying 48 hour tickets saying how we can only ride one line and we could go on the other line (blue line) later in the day. We told her we were going to the Statue of Liberty (red line). Newsflash- there is no way to get down to the Statue, Ellis island, and get to the blue line by 4:00 the same day. First off, it took us 2.5 hours to get downtown...but that is a different review. We have to go through security and wait for the boat, etc. We should have just taken the subway!! She obviously gets a better commission or fills some quota by selling us more. That cost us an extra $30- wasted! WHY DOES WYNDHAM TREAT THEIR OWNERS THIS WAY??!
Then, when we are coming back from downtown at 6:30pm the woman at the Time-share desk was so aggressive. UNPROFESSIONAL!!! “Did you get your free gift?” She is practically yelling in our face like a carnival barker/used car salesman. Ha! Wyndham...we are owners so we are kind of captive...do better! Because right now, I will tell everyone I know to avoid Wyndham! Owner or not, you deserve better!
