    The Marlton is a quaint hotel located in close proximity to NYU and many restaurants and the park.

    Small room but well fitted considering the size. Enormous overbearing light fixture overhead for such a small room. Not much to complain about.

    Breakfast excellent. Always a place to sit and prompt service. We liked the cosy, relaxed, retro feel of the lobby communal areas. I loved the original features of the building. Nice shower and toiletries. Great location.

    Hotel with real character in an excellent location.

    Room was comfortable but, as it's a historic location, a little tight on space. For example, no in-room desk. More suited to leisure travellers than business travellers.

    Excellent location in a relatively quiet street next to a lively area. Lots of great restaurants and bars in easy walking distance and the subway is a short walk away. The Marlton has real character, especially in its lobby, bar/restaurant area. Room was comfortable but, as it's a historic location, a little tight on space. Very friendly and helpful team. Room was cleaned and serviced with care. Good breakfast in seating area with plenty of space - never had to wait for a table.

    there was massive building- construction site at the back of the hotel causing lots of noise beginning at 645 a.m. the hotel in anticipation of the building and the noise problem should have asked the builders to subsidize the cost of installing double pane windows in the rooms on the back facade of the hotel to minimize the disturbance to the guests' rest.

    the location was amazing. close to tons of great places to eat and tour in the Village with good access to the subway. breakfast was delicious and service friendly and efficient. the atmosphere was very quiet calm and old world. a bit too dark in some public rooms.

    I needed a (small) folding luggage rack. And I would have liked a toast option included in the free breakfast.

    The rooms, while small, are very pretty, especially if you appreciate an antique-y vibe. All the fittings are brass, the tiles are a beautiful patina-green, and the floors are genuine wood. My room would have been tight for two, but for a solo traveler it was perfect! Hoping to return!

    I really enjoyed my stay at the Marlton, which was for 5 days. It is a charming, old-world feeling hotel. First, as has already been mentioned, the rooms are small. But as a solo woman traveler, the size was just fine for me. If you're looking for expansive rooms to sprawl, then go elsewhere. I initially booked the Petite Queen but learned (as also mentioned by others) that the Petite Queen rooms face a building that is undergoing construction. And construction starts early and lasts until the evening in the day. And it is really loud. Not the hotel's fault. Even though I planned on sight-seeing, I also wanted to come back to the room to rest and the noise made it impossible. However, as luck would have it, there was another room available, and the hotel staff were so very accommodating and put me in the new room, which was one with a full bed. And again, as a solo traveler, that was just fine. As a matter of fact, I loved the room even more. It felt a little bigger, the bathroom was bigger and had a bathtub. There was also a very nice wardrobe to hang my clothes in, as well as a stocked mini-bar (I took that stuff out and put my own drinks and snacks in). There was also a hallway to the bathroom, giving the room a feeling of being larger. The room was exceptionally clean, the bathroom lovely with a wonderful shower head and very nice toiletries. I found the bed quite comfortable. The pillows are squishy, but I had 4 to choose from and just piled them on and slept just fine. My room faced the street, but there was very little street noise, at least nothing that kept me awake. The continental breakfast included with the room price was just fine. I typically had the oatmeal and a glass of juice, which is really all I needed to kickstart my day. The hotel really is ideally located and easy to get to places either on foot or via the subway, which is a couple blocks away.

    A bit loud (doors slamming, noise in the hallway), often had to wait for the elevator. No coffee in the room. Insufficient blinds (lots of light in the AM). Bed wasn’t that comfortable.

    Awesome location, one of the main reasons I stayed here. Nice CO bigelow toiletries. Friendly staff. Clean rooms.

    Water wasn't provided as a given and I went a few nights parched. Its standard to offer a bottle complimentary in other hotels so I wonder why they didn't think of it. The other thing I would have wanted is a clothes rail or a wardrobe for my stuff, but the room was very small and didn't have anything such.

    I liked the chilled out vibe, the location is excellent and the staff sweet and courteous. The place exudes a calm that I loved coming home too, it felt natural and comfortable most times of the day. I worked in the lobby a lot and that was wonderful as well. Its a stone's throw away from Washington Sq Park which was a lovely addition to the day every time I stepped out. Its far from the madness of the downtown yet surrounded by fun things to do. The room was small but clean and the fixtures were all early 19th century vibe - which felt quite cool!

    The sprays used to clean and scent the room were incredibly strong. I don’t personally have a perfume allergy and couldn’t breathe and had to leave the window open at all times.
