Other than being in a great location, I was very dissapointed with this hotel. The room thaat I had was ridiculously smaall, as was the bathroom. Instead of central heating and cooling it had a window mounted AC which was right beside the writing desk making it impossible to sit at the desk with the AC running. When I asked for a power adapter to charge my laptop and mobile, I was told they had none a and would need to walk about 4 blocks to the local hardware store (you have to be kidding - for a $200 per night?). After travelling for more ethan 24 hours, when I arrived all I wanted to do was have a shower and sit down with a good cup of coffe and reaad the paper, so I went down to the restuarant and order a Latte and asked where I could find a paper. Insteaad of getting aLatte and decent papaer, I was served a luke warm glass of milk with some coffee added (without a doubt the worst coffee I have ever had), and teh only papare that they had for guests was some pathetic National paper instead of a regular local (NY) paper, and then to top it off the waitress had the audacity to be pissed off when I refused to leave a tip.
I was booked in for another 2 nights on my way home from the US, but very quickly cancelled my second booking and stayed an extra couple of nights in Washington instead.
As a Priority Club Platinum member, I have stayed countless nights in Holiday Inn properties all over the world, and without a doubt the Holiday Inn Manhaattan 6th Ave rates as the worst Holiday Inn I have ever stayed in - even worse than the one in darwin Australia where our room was flooded and there was a mouse and cockroaches in the room - now that's saying something!
As a Platinum member I was also advised that I would be given a room on one of the upper floors with city views, but what I got was a room on the 11th floor (there are 24 floors) with a view of the brick wall of the cruddy looking building on the opposite side of the street.
