I had always heard that NYC hotels are overpriced and small. This was neither. I found a great package deal (booked air and hotel bundled together), which made the room relatively inexpensive for the quality. I was very surprised at how large and nice the room was. Here are the positives and negatives:
Positives:
* large, nicely-decorated, super-clean room at great price
* soft bed/sheets
* choice of 3 kinds of pillows (all 3 are on the bed already, just ask for more if you want more of one specific pillow) - all 3 are super nice
* full-size mirror on wall
* quiet A/C - Heater
* regular wooden hangers in closet (not the anti-theft kind - classy touch)
* complementary, full-size umbrella in room (only for use during your stay - very classy, plus it is available for purchase for under $10 in case it is raining when you check out!)
* digital combination safe
* desk with herman miller chair
* high-speed internet available
* kitchen with large fridge, oven/stove, sink, coffee maker, and dishes (yes, there is also dishwashing liquid)
* nice marble counter in bathroom
* one adjustable mirror next to sink and another in shower
* bathroom fully stocked (and restocked daily) with Aveda bath products and soft towels
* strong water pressure in shower
* very courteous staff
Negatives:
* toilet paper is very rough (Scott's brand). If I had though about it, I would have walked to the corner store and bought some Charmin or Cottonelle or something.
* shower temperature fluctuated from scalding hot to luke-warm, (not so bad as to make the shower experience unenjoyable though. Just had to adjust the temperature a few times during shower)
