The location next to the Met is excellent but there are many negatives to the hotel. This sounds minor but with no coffeemaker in the room one has to get dressed, etc just to get the first cup of coffee. At that price point WiFi should be included but it is $13/day. With the Lincoln Center location was hoping this would be a high class experience with maybe operatic or classical music in the background but found instead a poor mix of music in the lobby and too loud. The breakfast buffet, which we skipped, at $26 was the poorest we have seen in a major hotel and doesn't remotely approach some that have many hot entrees, instead of just 3, and include items such as lox, assortment of cheeses, house made pastries, etc. Apparently many people feel the same as the dining room was very sparsely populated for breakfast when I checked it out. The room size was OK for a NY hotel but one of the floor lamps had a broken switch and the bathroom sink drain was so slow that I removed the stopper to drain it quicker. Also, many times the front door was left open for extended periods and smoke from the sidewalk area was very noticeable and disagreeable in the lobby area. Maid service was poor.
