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:
Location and Decor
What the hotel could do better:
Sound proof the rooms better. Especially the windows. The power washer being used on the street at midnight sounded like it was in our room.

Very well located and enjoyed the downstairs library space.
What the hotel could do better:
Bed was not bolted to the floor or wall and moved constantly. Pillows were not great.

What I liked:
Free coffee and that was literally it
What the hotel could do better:
We stayed in a double double parlour room (one of the more expensive) and it was pokey and very dark - more importantly it wasn't clean. The bedside table and desk were covered in dust and the counterpanes on the beds were filthy. Twice the sheets on my bed had big rips in them. The room also looked out on to the street and was incredibly noisy as the window wasn't sealed
We really struggled with the internet here when we critically needed to get on so would not recommend for anyone on business. The staff were very little help when we asked for help to get on the internet or to move rooms with one notable exception (F&B manager). Throughout the stay staff would look at you blankly when you asked for help and we needed to follow up two or three times for anything to happen.
