I like that the watson is close to just about everything. I didnt like that on my last night someone connected to our ventilation was constanly smoking weed making our room stink. Security was unable to identify where it was coming from. Because of this i would not reccomend this hotel to anyone with kids.

Second time staying here. Definitely a good value for NYC in a convenient locating. Room was clean, staff is always friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The bar is nice and the rooftop pool in the summer is a treat. There is a good pizza place right around the corner from the hotel, great for late night!
