I just completed my second 10-day stay at this wonderful, historic hotel, which is in a fantastic location on the upper west side. I just can't say enough about it. It's just got character!! Very friendly and accommodating staff, clean rooms, extremely comfortable beds with down comforter and pillow - and both stays were in an economy room with shared bath. We wanted to spend our money on seeing the sights, not on a huge hotel bill, and we were so pleased that we did not have to sacrifice on comfort to do so. Another big bonus, located on the street level, is Big Nicks with a terrific menu of at least 50 items listed and open 24 hours. Great food - we savored many items on the menu!! Back to the hotel - wonderful "home away from home," great location in the West Side Historical District; two blocks away from subway/bus lines; and terrific, and convenient, shopping and amenities. I'll be back at the Hotel Belleclaire next year!!! I wouldn't consider any other place. The only thing that I would have liked in my room, and this is really the only thing, is a microwave oven although there is a refrigerator. Hotel Belleclaire, please consider adding this convenience. See y'all on the next trip!!
