Fodor's Review:

The Mansfield has the best small details of any New York hotel. For instance, attractive key cards with old New York scenes, the lovely elongated leather guest services catalog, or the gilt-script font on black leather privacy cards that read "Kindly Service My Room." This attitude can be found throughout the hotel: built in 1904 as lodging for distinguished bachelors, the small, clubby property has an Edwardian sensibility from the working fireplace in the lounge to the lobby's coffered ceiling and marble-and-cast-iron staircase. The intimate M Bar, lined with books and leather banquettes, is one of the nicer hotel bars in the city. One quirk: standard rooms have much bigger bathrooms than suites, which are comically small. Pros: complimentary wireless; business center; 24-hour gym; great bar; breakfast included. Cons: suites have tiny bathrooms; air-conditioners are window units.

  • Hotel Details: 124 rooms, 25 suites
  • In-room: safe, Wi-Fi.
  • In-hotel: restaurant, room service, bar, laundry service, Internet terminal, Wi-Fi hotspot, parking (paid), some pets allowed.

Reviewed by Laguna from Dallas, TX on 4/4/09
Hotel's website is very stylish and did not misrepresent the property. Stayed 2-nights on business and the Chamber Queen was just right for 1 person, as described. Breakfast wasn't included as Fodor's site states (and service was unorganized), but all hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Good restaurants within an easy walk and not a bad walk to the theater district and Rockefeller Center. Live music in the M Bar Sat. night was a pleasant surprise. Would definitely stay at the Mansfield again.

this is a great hotel with lots of charm and convience. the rooms are small, but who stays in their room in nyc? comp breakfast, nice bar and 2 blocks from grand central. make sure your room doesn't face the street as it can be rather loud. would stay here again for sure.
