This is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in -- at $500 per night I certainly would have expected more. All of the four-star hotels in New York where I usually stay were booked solid. Seeing that this hotel carries a rating of four stars, I thought that it would be a safe bet. I thus encouraged my colleague to stay here as well. What a mistake. The air-conditioning in the guest rooms is clearly inadequate. The air-conditioning in my room cannot cool the room during the day to cooler than 75 degrees. My colleague's room offers the same experience. The walls are very thin; I can hear everything from the adjacent guest room. I'm sure that the people in the adjacent guest room can hear everything in mine. This hotel seems to be full of people desperate to feel part of the "in" crowd. It is ridiculously pretentious. If the air-conditioning worked decently, I could tolerate it. I recommend this hotel for singles who want to perceive themselves as "trendy." You can live out a fantasy here. But anyone on a business trip should avoid this hotel. Wireless Internet access is very poor from the guest rooms. You'll definitely need an Ethernet cable. I find that the access is very slow. I'm thoroughly disappointed in this hotel. I plan on never staying here again. If you are desperate to fantasize yourself as being "trendy," this hotel is for you.
