"This hotel is no longer in business. The Watson hotel has been used as an asylum for the foreign residents that occupied this during that time 2023-2025 the The Watson should not be on any traveling website to stay in New York City. This information should be updated if someone was to book this hote"

"I stayed here when I was homeless and I have to say that they encouraged me to turn my life around and be more proactive in finding work. I'm proud to say that I am a success story and a VERY successful Security Officer given a second chance in life through their guidance."

When registering in, we were greeted with a smile and kindness. Our housekeeper Vera was very pleasant and even left us a few extra"
