We stayed 4 nights in the Gild Hall end of June and stayed in a superior king room (#53). Room was rather small for the $400/night we payed, buit well equiped. The big problem with the room was the very noisy airco unit, one of those large, old-fashioned in-room units. They come to life with a very loud click and in case you are not so sound asleep (ie when jetlagged or after a few hours of sleep) you are sitting upright, totally frightened and wondering what happened. There was no way to avoid turning off the airco unit, because New York City was very hot and humid and.,.,.. across the street is a building with an airco unit that is even more noisy. So opening the window is no option.
Apart from that some minor nuisances that you would not expect in a hotel in this category: Tv channels did not correspond with the titles in the menu; the (free) wireless hotel guests network is NOT the one called Thompson (that's the one for the administration), but the one called ZyXel, which is confusing when your computer detects 20+ wireless networks!
Apart from that, there are quite a few very positive aspects: front office staff is very helpful and friendly and so is the concierge. He even put our rented bikes in a special storage room.
