In my efforts to cut costs for my employer this year, I am staying at less expensive hotels when possible and chose The Roosevelt this week. I was assigned to Room 953. Check in was fast and polite. Long waits for elevator and it seemed a couple were out of service, but nothing out of hand. Room a bit old and tired looking but clean enough and functional. For the location at US$170 per night, I felt it was a bargain and that is my corporate rate. I did not want to eat at the hotel or in my room (was not appealing to do so) and not using room service saved even more money. I used the ethernet connection for internet at US$14.95 per day which is expensive. I never needed or was offered a bellman or doorman but that is fine - location is great. I see it is popular with tourists over business people. I was fine and happy. For a personal trip, I would stay at The Grand Hyatt which i like better but happy to do my part to cut business travel costs when I can and this was just fine for 4 nights of NY business when I am out of the room from 7 am till 9 or 10 pm everyday anyway.
