My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 9 nights during New York Fashion Week. It's a great location, and although this is not my favorite area in New York City, I must say it is very close to the Tents at Bryant Park if you go there for Fashion Week ! We asked for a high floor room and got hardly any noise from the street on this 39th floor room.
The food is a bit poor in the room service menu and very expensive but the wifi connection is hêlpfus and we have used the room service (what else can yopu do when you are very busy working, writing articles, sometimes at night time ? So we got fed up and poor becquse of the prices but we had some rest which is a miracle when you are a fasion writer attending New York Fashion Week !
The concierge was unable to find a town car with a chauffeur for us, he said the reason for this was the UN summit... I believe him but still I found the bellman most of the time efficient with taxis and town cars...
The bellman got us a regular small fridge to store drinks we could buy from surrounding shops to avoid buying high price drinks from the fridge in the room. I am glad that he offered this the minute we arrived, but in case he does not, just ask him...
I am still looking for the ideal hotel to attend Fashion Week, this one is best for location, the staff can be quite helpful, but still, I would go back there, just in case I don't find a more boutique hotel in the neighbourhood !
