We visited New York City July 17-20,2011 and stayed at this hotel for those days. The lobby is beautiful, but that is just about it. Once you get in the elevator and go to your room, it goes downhill from there. The halls are dark, the carpet is tired and worn out, the paint or lack thereof is awful, the doors look like they have some type of armor plate over then, the room we were in at first was so unacceptable we asked to be moved. We did move but the other room was not any better except it smelled better. The ceiling in the bathroom was covered in mold/mildew, the furniture was old and worn and looked like it was reclaimed from the garbage dump and the room was so dark, we had to use a flashlight to see. The TV was old, but it did work well. We heard that the hotel was to be torn down and replaced by something else in two years. Perhaps that is why not much is being done to update. If so, why charge so much????
