Be prepared for noisy air con in the rooms. It is an old fashioned on or off trip system. When on it is very loud! Better than sweating - but makes sleeping harder.

First impression is that this is a very nice hotel.

Nice hotel but the staff was bitchy and indifferent. Not worth the money. The bar however was great. Good time bartender

The Algonquin is beautiful!

The carpet in our room is sticky. Bring extra house slippers to walk around.

Hanging in an elegant NYC hotel lobby drinking coffee and waiting to see the lobby cat.

Stop by the Blue Bar and ask about Tonic & Tomes, a one-of-a-kind food and drinks menu inspired by HarperCollins titles ranging from "How to Booze" to "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and several more.

The lobby is the perfect place for a cocktail or cup of tea on a rainy day like today. Couches are comfortable, service is friendly. If you're lucky you can hang with Matilda, the cat in residence.

Say hello to Matilda, the official kitty-in-residence!

Dine to the tune of the finest cabaret artists at the Oak Room’s Sunday Brunch.

Favourite hotel of Beatles manager Brian Epstein in the mid 1960s

Matilda is adorable! (: And the beds are so comfy. but the rooms are super quaint, meaning it's a squeeze- especially for the price. It's a very attractive place, however.

Excellent, excellent lobby. Head here for tea or for some of the best thick fries in the city. Ask for the wifi code at the desk & do a little work...and don't forget to pet Matilda, the lobby cat.

If you want an old style hotel the way they used to be with a lobby and excellent service, this is the place to go.

Guests at the Algonquin Hotel claim to see ghostly members of The Round Table, a group that included writers such as Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Franklin Pierce & Harpo Marx.

Gossip Girl badge?

Ask for Otto. Best waiter around.

Where are the cats?

When at breakfast ask for chuck to be your waiter...tell him I sent you!

Head to the Blue Bar. It’s Old New York and super-fun.

Sit in the lobby and order a drink as you people watch. It's got to be one of the most fascinating places to see tourists and New Yorkers alike.
