Must be one of the most unoriginal places I've ever been. Staff are all super good looking and friendly but they don't make up for the over-designed lobby and very small rooms. Despite booking an Empire Corner King with views in two directions, I've stayed in far more beautifully designed and much larger rooms for the same price. About the only thing they got absolutely perfect is the bed and linen, extremely, unbelievably comfortable! They're also the proud owners of THE slowest elevators in New York! I waited 6 minutes to get from the 11th floor to the lobby! They are however very entertaining elevators. Finally, the Boom Boom bar on top of The Standard has the most incredible views of the city and it was absolutely brilliant. Being a hotel guest however does get you in, the entrance is on 13th and you may have to stand in a line so just go there for a drink and stay somewhere else.
