Just returned from NYC and an overnight stay at the Gansevoort in the meat packing district.
The location is great - lots of shops, restaurants and easy access to the subway. The hotel offers valet parking for $40/night and it's about as reasonable as you will find in the area.
The staff at the hotel was exceptional - from the doorman to the front desk attendants and the housekeeping staff - they were friendly and attentive and the service was great.
My only complaint was the noise - inside and outside of the hotel. We were on the 6th floor facing west (9th Ave). I woke up at 1 AM to the sounds of a fight in the hallway. Security responded after being called but the commotion continued for about a half hour. Once that was resolved the traffic noise started - and from 2 AM to 4 AM it was like trying to sleep outdoors in Times Square. The street in front of the hotel (9th Ave.) is fairly quiet during the day - there's not a lot of traffic. The main activity on the street takes place when the bars start to close - there are massive traffic jams with cars trying to circle the block and beeping the horns continuously. The hotel could definitely use additional soundproofing.
