We stayed for 2 nights in room 606 which was a double room with shared shower. The room was sufficient for the mere 8 or so hours we spent a night in it. All the furnishings were very nice and the mattress was really comfortable. TV worked fine as well. We paid a special summer rate of $150 (including tax) which I know is a good rate by NY standards but it still disgusts me to have to pay so much for so little!!
The bathroom was almost the size of our room with lovely dark tiles, good lighting and good plumbing with immediate hot water. But, it was insufficiently furnished with 1 towel rail that is no where near the shower, 1 very small glass shelf above the sink and no hooks for clothes or bathrobe etc. The shower was large but it only had one tiny soap dish and no where to put shampoo etc except for the floor... There was no steam vent except for the open window which is unfortunately visible to other rooms.
The day time desk attendant was very nice, friendly and helpful but the evening woman was really rude. We were told at noon that we may be upgraded (free) but when we checked-in later on the woman said it would cost us $40 extra. It was obvious that rooms were available but she didn't want to honor the upgrade. When I booked the rooms I requested that the 2 rooms be on the same floor but the hotel didn't honour this request either so we had to share the bathroom with complete strangers. One morning the toilet was blocked, the next day it was unflushed...yuck!!
The staff let us store our bags after check out and even let our friends take a shower at 8pm when they came back to retrieve their bags.
We were really close to 3 train lines, the museums and Central Park. Best of all was Amsterdam Ave where I had breakfast for half the money that I spent when staying near Times Square in May.
