Just got back from a five night stay at the Flatotel and overall it was satisfactory. We had a 1 bedroom suite on the 44th of 46 floors which was very spacious and had a nice view, especially at night.
I must also point out that we had absolutely no wait for the elevators of more than about 1 or 2 minutes during our entire stay at any time of the day or night.
However, the claim that the rooms were all newly refurbished is slightly wide of the mark as a lick of paint is not refurbished in my book. As you will see from my pics there were some "issues" with the state of the room which were more of a an annoyance and didn't really detract too much from our stay...even the whirpool bath that was about as powerful as stirring the water with a teaspoon.
In summary, certainly no luxury apartment but then again its a prime location for us tourists and enought space to kick back and relax however scruffy, old and damaged the decor!
