I stayed in a jnr suite which has a little more space and is clean but not necessarily well equipped: there is no free wi fi in the room, the tv is large but the picture signal is not great, and the shower head temperature control was not fully functioning. The room decor is modern, but the combination of grey, brown, and orange together with low lighting isn't working for me - quite depressing to stay indoors.
What further bothers me is that guests get charged:
charged $5 for using the pool per day and $10 for the gym
more than $16 for a jar of cashew nuts from the mini bar (seriously, it wasn't a kilo in weight or anything)
oh, and the pricey gimmicks such as if you want to use the 'dry bar', it will set you back $40 for someone to blow dry it for you. A msg saying 'don't do it' (i.e. yourself) is placed next to the hairdryer.
Best bits: The location is great for the park and good for tourists as v. centrally located, and the burger joint downstairs in the lobby is a contender for the best burger in NYC.
