Arriving at the Hudson on Saturday night I was prepared for a small hotel room, I had warned my husband multiple times that we were staying in one of the smallest hotel rooms on the planet. I had not envisioned this small. Picture a room with a queen sized bed and one foot of space on each side of the bed - I felt like I was in a walk-in closet. Luckily we did not spend alot of time there, as one person has to be sitting on the bed for the other to be able to move about the room. If you are taller than 6 feet you also will likely not be able to sit on the toilet as your knees will hit the wall in front of you.
So aside from the small room here are my thoughts:
Pros:
- Very cool atmosphere, if you go be sure to check out the rooftop patio & courtyard bars
- Impressive lobby
- Decent price ($175 per night plus a $50 per day room credit to use in the hotel because of the package we selected)
- Modern & trendy decor
- Friendly concierge & front desk staff
- We did not see this until it was too late but appreantly there is a really hip nightclub in the hotel on certain evenings (would have been good to mention upon our arrival)
- Across the street from subway system, lots of stores and food options nearby, close to Central Park & within walking distance to Times Square
Cons:
- Price of food & drink (two mixed drinks cost $40 with tip and breakfast for two people was $50 daily)
- It is extermely dark throughout the hotel including the rooms
- Room was a bit noisy, we could hear doors slamming throughout the night & morning
- Room floors looked like they had not been cleaned in months
- Service slow at bars & restaurants
Overall our stay was fair, we luckily did not spend much time in our hotel room, it was cramped for two people especially after a few shopping bags were added to the room. If you can afford a larger room I would consider that option. If we had not had the $50 room credit I would not have eaten at the restaurant for breakfast every day, the food was good but not worth $25 per plate.
