Having read a lot of the reviews prior to arriving at this hotel, I did not have high expectations. Ive read all about the loud banging noises from the pipes, the booming music from the nightclub, the tiny rooms...blah blah blah. My wife and I were dreading it expecting a five day stay in hell, but it wasnt that bad. Yes, the rooms are tiny, when you first walk in your room your knees will practically bang off the bottom of the bed, but now you know to expect that. For a couple, the rooms are small, but for a single person it would be all you need. The toilet was small but it was clean. The loud music wasnt that bad where we were on the 16th floor, you could hear some slight activity coming from the bar on the 15th floor but nothing to bother about. It is quite a trendy hotel though, if you are single then this hotel is the place to go, it was filled with a lot of good looking people dressed in designer gear. As you would expect the mini bar prices are high, $8.00 for a miniature Bombay Sapphire will give you some idea of what to expect. I bought a bottle of Peroni from the actual bar area and that set me back $9.00. Once you walk out the bar into the elevator the music even continues on playing in the elevator where you feel like you should be dancing in it whilst being crammed in alongside 6 people dressed up in Prada and Armani. Final review - Small clean rooms in a good location, not as bad as many people make out, like I said, if you are single and fancy hitting New York, then its ideal.
