We arrived on saturday afternoon and was welcomed by pleasant staff. Our room was on the 5th floor. I was nervous at arrivin in our room after readin the reviews on here!!! So i was pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to find a decent sized room. It was beautiful. We were on a corner so had two huge windows. Both over lookin the court yard!
The room was lit dimly but the bathroom lighting was bright enough to do my make up in perfectly! It was nice to have a room with atmosphere. There was a huge mirror in the room and one in the bathroom.
There was plenty of hangin space and room to put our 4 suitcases!!! There was also a draw and a dressin table. The bathroom also have 3 shelves. There were some hangers in but i took some of my own anyhow.
There was a TV with many channels and the opportunity to watch movies.
There was a CD player and a hairdryer - which was amazin! I never used the one i took with me! So leave urs at home and save on weight! There was a lso an iron and alarm clock.
The room was clean, the only dirty part was black marks in the toilet. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels.
The air com was noisy but did not prevent us sleeping. On the Tuesday night we went to bed at 12pm and there was a party inthe courtyard which was very noisy but we were so tired that we fell asleep anyhow. The rest of the time there was no real noise disturbance.
I loved the character of the room and was sad to have to leave it behind.
The sky terrace was beautiful and the views were amazin!
The rest of the hotel was dimly lit and was fine, but i reakon a little brighter lightin would be useful. It felt a little seedy at times!
The drinks in the hotel are a total rip off!!!! BE CAREFUL! For one small glass of wine and a bottle of beer it was $24. The wine was £10!!!!!!!
Check out was 12pm and we didnt fly until the evenin. So we checked our bags into the hotel lobby. They took the cases and put them in storage and when we were ready to leave we gave them our tickets outside the hotel and they brought them out and put them into the taxi for us! Really good service!
We really only used the hotel as a base to sleep and get changed, But i wud have happily had an evenin chilled in the room watchin tv as it was very cosy!
The hotel is a great location. Close to Columbus St Subway which has great links to most of the island. Its a 2min walk to Central park. Shops, pharmacy and food places close by. 20 min walk to Times Square. 5 min walk to 5th Avenue.
The only issue i have with the hotel is the cost of drinks and extra services. You were charged $10 per day for Wi-Fi!
