We booked our stay at the Walker Hotel to be near a friend who lives in the neighborhood with average expectations. Once there it didn't take long to realize that the hotel had well exceeded those expectations.
We were delightfully surprised when we walked up to The Walker Hotel to get settled in. Greeted by a beautiful sidewalk seating area, then a spacious and well appointed lobby and a friendly and competent staff...we felt lucky that we had found this place.
The pleasant surprises didn't end with the lobby, which to our delight had a wonderful guitarist playing by the fireplace sitting area. The restaurant and bar served us well. The elevator to the room was fast and smooth, and although the hotel was populated there was no waiting around for a slow elevator and no crowded noisy places.
Once in the room, another wonderful surprise...the view!
It was a great place to rest after a long day of walking around New York. We couldn't be happier with our stay.
