Booked a flight+hotel package through hotwire and got really nice rates for the Eventi. Although the regular rates may be excessive for the standard room size, staying at the Eventi with rdeuced rates is a fantastic experience.
The front desk staff is easily the best in New York. It didn't even feel like New York at all. Stephen, the night manager, checked us in and made we feel as if we were staying at a friend's place. No request was to much for front desk and everyone gave you tons of attention and smiles. A very pleasant experience indeed!
The room is sparkling new and very well furnished, but a bit small (for rest-of-the-world standards; for Manhattan it was ok). We had to leave one of our two cabin-sized bags on the floor. The king bed was comfortable and the mattress was more on the soft side. Plenty of pillows were available and the floor was carpeted. I did notice that the bedsheet (of very good quality) was ripped and frayed, probably because hotel sheets are washed so many times. This did not bother me greatly, but such things should not happen at hotels as expensive as the Eventi. For this reason only I do not give them a perfect score.
The bathroom was very spacious and clean. Probably the largest hotel bathroom I've ever seen in New York. Sleep quality was a bit compromised by the noise the A/C made when switching on and off. This could be a problem for light sleepers. Our room on the 16th floor was fairly silent and the soundproof windows kept away the city noise (with an eventual ambulance siren or higher-pitched car honk seeping through). The view to the city and to the Empire State Building was delightful.
Bottom line is: if you go to New York, stay at the Eventi.
