Hotel was excellent in NYC. The king room is a little small compared to other Hampton Inns across the US, but that is expected in NYC. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Upon arriving before check-in was allowed and after checking out, the hotel was very accommodating in storing our bags for us and did not charge a fee for doing so. I was asked if a computer was in one bag (it was) and they locked that bag up).
Review is based upon staying in room 1303.
The bathroom was very clean. No mold or stuff pealing off anywhere. The entire room was clean and no dirt or signs of wear were showing.
The breakfast was fully stocked, even during the rush periods. It is a little cramped, but there was a table always available.
The only downside of this hotel was the elevators. The lobby is small (again expected in NYC in hotels like this) and often during rush periods (check-in, check-out), you would wait for the elevator for a while. Upon checking in, we waited about 8 minutes to get in the elevators. The elevators are not terribly slow, but there are only two and lots of people and thus there can easily be a wait.
The hotel seemed to only have 6 rooms per floor with about 32 floors. (It's tall but narrow). This seemed to contribute to the elevator problems (had to stop at many floors). There is a stairwell though, so doing down is usually easier via the stairs.
Overall, a great hotel. I would definitely stay again and have zero hesitations about recommending it.
