I used to stay at the NY Palace all the time on business 5-8 years ago, and now usually stay at other hotels. I stayed there last week for the first time in a while due to the convenience of its location. I always enjoy seeing the familiar faces of the doormen, porters and other professional staff members at this very solid hotel. I will say, however, that the decor is starting to wear down. Carpet, upholstery and paint were all showing signs of heavy use over the years in my room and on my floor. With numerous fresher options in Midtown, and standard rooms running easily $700/night all-in, I think the management should really consider a freshening program. Even the elevator buttons are scratched up.
