In New York real estate circles the word “prewar” is one that holds a special significance. This is the era stretching back from the start of the Second World War to, for all practical purposes, roughly the dawn of the 20th century. When buildings were buildings, elevators had attendants, and a height of fifteen or twenty stories was enough to scrape the sky. It’s not just the solid construction, although that certainly doesn’t hurt. It’s also the aesthetic appeal of what’s for many of us the most romantic period in New York’s history. And in large part this romance is what the Mansfield Hotel is all about.
The massive year-long renovation had two aims: to restore the historical character of the building, and at the same time to bring the hotel up to current New York standards. Rooms are intimate, as vintage NYC hotel rooms tend to be, but efficiently designed, and packed with plush comforts — microfiber bathrobes, luxury linens, iPod radios, that sort of thing. The Club Room is a classic library/parlor, and the M Bar is a slightly retro nightspot, in keeping with the general tone of the Mansfield. Downstairs is a completely modern gym, but it’s not enough to break the spell — upon your exit to 44th street and the bustle of midtown Manhattan you just might feel a bit of future shock.

What I liked:
The location is great. The rooms contain nice basic amenities.
What the hotel could do better:
The hotel was probably very nice at one time; however, it has become a bit run down. Our room had cracks in the walls, the wallpaper was peeling, the bathroom had a moldy smell and the floors and furniture were scuffed up. Since the room was not in very good shape, it made the space feel dirty and dingy. It's time for them to do updates to the rooms. Additionally, several times when we entered or left the hotel, the staff at the front desk were arguing with each other. While they did stop bickering to ask us if we needed a taxi or directions or to ask how our day was going, it was uncomfortable and unprofessional for us to have to walk into the middle of whatever disagreement the staff members were having.

What I liked:
The decor was nice and the location was great. It's in a perfect location and close to great spots in Manhattan.
What the hotel could do better:
The customer service was okay. The staff weren't very friendly and when we called the hotel to ask a question about costs, we were put on hold for 20 minutes for no one to answer.
