The location is fantastic; the rooms are chic. The bar is a happening place (or at least it was on a Saturday nightt). I particularly liked the room off the lobby where one can sit and relax. The restaurant seemed reasonably priced ($20 for mains, $9/$7 for entrees). BUT I think USD9 for bottled water is excessive (goodness, the wine was only USD10 a glass).
The service is efficient but disinterested. Having just come from the Affinia Dumont (NYC), perhaps I have been a bit too spoiled--the staff there really went out of their way to assist.
Okay the negatives. The 24 hour business center charges before one can even log on--I didn't bother so I have no idea what the costs are. The $15 per day internet charge is not good, especially as it wasn't wireless--even though the front desk assured me it was. All hotels in this price range should not charge for internet. I just stayed in a Hilton where ALL business services were free.
Overall, the nickel and dime-ing just plain bugged me. And I wasn't the only one...someone in the elevator was suggesting to others a hotspot for some free wireless time. I will stay again but only if I can get a good deal -- I certainly wouldn't pay more than $300 per night--it's just not that special.
