A large hotel in a superb location just by Time Square, it’s a big, buzzing place and of course slightly impersonal as any large chain hotel inevitably is. Rooms were clean and tidy, and just about big enough. There were tea / coffee making facilities in the room which is often not the case in big hotels.
We had a good night’s sleep despite New York’s constant traffic, horns and sirens. The hotel has decent double glazing and we were on the 38th floor which no doubt also helped. There is a bar and bistro in the hotel and we had a couple of cocktails from the bar but with so many other places to eat nearby we didn’t use the bistro.
My main gripe is around the prices – it’s an upmarket hotel in a prime location, so I have no problem with the room rate. But for $350 per night, could they not have stretched to free wi-fi instead of charging you yet more if you want to use that. For me that really leaves a bit of a sour taste. Similarly although there was a gym in the hotel, this too was a chargeable extra which I’ve never come across before.
