Positive Reviews
positive:
Convenient New York location
Although some have complained that the subways are some distance from the accommodation, most previous guests have been in agreement that the Gracie Inn is conveniently located. The inn is a short walk from Central Park and many museums, restaurants, shops and other attractions. Furthermore, the neighborhood in which the inn is situated is generally considered safe and quiet.
positive:
Kitchenette included with all rooms
While there have been some grievances about the lack of sufficient utensils and the condition of the appliances, a number of former visitors were pleased that a kitchenette was included with their room.
positive:
Pet-friendly accommodation
If you are traveling to New York with a pet, the Gracie Inn - thanks to its pet-friendly policy - is a suitable accommodation choice for that reason.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Inadequate customer service
Despite some feedback stating that the staff members were friendly, the majority of previous guests did not find the Gracie Inns customer service to be acceptable. From a lack of daily housekeeping to issues rarely being resolved in a professional manner, a variety of negative comments have been brought up against the staff at the inn. Moreover, the front desk is reportedly only open for a limited time each day, which has also caused a number of problems in the past.
negative:
Hygiene a constant problem
Cleanliness, or the lack thereof, has been a large negative for many past visitors to the inn. Dust, unclean bathroom facilities, hairs in various places and stained sheets are common problems that suggest a lack of general care when it comes to hygiene at the inn.
negative:
Rooms in a substandard state
From the air conditioning/heating not working sufficiently to the worn down and uncomfortable beds, many former guests at the Gracie Inn have lambasted the condition of the rooms.
