Guest reviews for The Watson Hotel
Excellent location, very hot in the lobby, bath/shower could use an update. Loved the bed, Keurig machine in the room, toiletries, hair dryer, and iron. Was not informed of the destination fee ($20/night) before they charged my credit card. Obviously that changes the advertised price and should be made known to the guest.

The destination fee is stated on your booking which is the $20 extra fee. Thank you for your feed back and stay at the Watson.
Location was excellent. Keurig coffeemaker did not work (although had I found this problem on the first day, I am confident the staff would have replaced it)

Thank you for your feed back and stay at the Watson.
Close to Times Square, Central Park, and Subway. Interior lobby needs updating. Carpet is frayed at steps and elevator is a bit scary. Air conditioner in my room wouldnt keep a comfortable temp even with a 50-59°F outside temp. Had to open windows to help. Toilet very tricky to flush. Takes 3-4 tries. Housekeeping entered my room the morning after i checked in without knocking. Very upsetting due to my daughter showering at the time next to the entry. Not exactly sure what she was thinking. This is unacceptable anywhere. She lied to me and said she did when in fact i was 18" away at the sink and there was never a knock. Review the CCTV video. Hotel refused to let me grab a luggage cart for my checkout. Said it was company policy that only bellman can use it. Well, i wanted to do it myself being that the wait was long when i called to arrange. Ended up having to pack mule all of our belongings. Lastly, there was an addition $20/day charge i wasnt aware of when booking on Travelocity that i had to pay during checkout. Maybe this was communicated somehow, i just dont remember. On a positive note, the lounge is awesome to enjoy an adult beverage prior to calling it a night.

Thank you for the lovely rating!!! We are so happy you had a pleasant stay with us. We hope to see you again. Thank you, Rebecca Roldan Guest Service Manager
Did not like how we were charged an additional $20 destination fee for each night of the stay. I feel this charge should have been included with the Travelocity quote when we purchased. Seems like a bait and switch kind of deal that really was disappointing. Our hotel cost an additional $40 for unexpected fee! Will have to people know that there may be hidden charges when booking with Travelocity!
