Connelly Holidays

Great location and style, but some growing pains. Now Now is a good choice for solo travelers who want a well-designed hotel in a prime location. The aesthetic is great and the vibe is modern and clean. However, there are some things that need improvement. I only received housekeeping 3 out of 8 days, even though daily towel service and sheet changes every 3 days were promised. The acoustic baffles help, but loud door locking mechanisms and shared bathroom layouts make noise an issue, especially in the south wing. Unlike the north wing, there is no separation of the bathroom/shower/sink from guest rooms and you will hear them in use. IMO the south wing rooms should be offered at a discount since they are noisy, fewer amenities, and less desirable. There are more showers/bathrooms in the basement, but you have to go downstairs and through the lobby to use them. That is also the only location to use the Dyson hairdryer if you stay on the south wing. Additionally, the shower rooms are big and stylish but the shower heads are small and low-flow water efficient so I was often cold taking a shower. I was grateful for the provided robe. I do wish they offered social elements like bar hopping, meetups, etc. kinda like a hostel to meet fellow solo travelers. They also charge for locker use to store items upon checkout which was disappointing. Overall, a solid place to stay and I would stay again but wouldn’t pay over $120 nightly for the cozy sleeper cabin.

This is the most luxurious hotel I have ever seen. It was designed by John Jacob Astor who unfortunately was lost in the Titanic disaster. But thankfully his beautiful hotel keeps his legacy alive. The architecture is absolutely jaw dropping. You will feel like you went back in time because the decor and amenities look like they are brand new even though they are intricately ornate Edwardian designs. This hotel looks like it's from a fairy tale both inside and out.Astor thought of everything. Every little detail in this place is impeccable. The staff is extremely friendly and thoughtful and their service is excellent. They carry your luggage and walk you to the building with an umbrella if it's raining. They carry your luggage up to your room. The concierge desk helps you with whatever you need. It was my mother and my birthday and they were so thoughtful and hooked us up at another restaurant for her birthday dinner. They gave us a personalized birthday card and treats. They gave us a tour of the basement which has historical artifacts and photos or autographs of many famous celebrities who came to stay to perform at the venue in a previous decade. If you are a fan of luxury, history or VIP treatment this is the place for you. If you want to experience luxury

It was clean and very cute. Great for a quick weekend stay and the price is right.

We stayed at the Arlo for a night and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, warm and accommodated us leaving luggage until check in. The rooms were clean, and the property was well maintained, easily accessible and also away from the hustle. We will sure stay here again!!

This was a really lovely hotel. Great location, mostly residential, and really quiet. The rooftop bar was gorgeous with views of the Empire State and the Chrysler (depending on where you were sitting). The staff were friendly and super helpful when needed. The room was really large for Manhattan and we had a double aspect which was great. The kitchen was small but enough for us. My only negative comments are that the shower wasn't really very good and the whole room could do with updating. But putting that aside I would 100% recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again. 🙂
