Stayed in New York 5 times and based on cost and reviews thought this would be our best hotel - so wrong. This is not like your average hotel, lobby is small and if busy people and luggage all over the place. Check in was good and friendly. What a dissapointment when we got to the room - pictures on website are definitely wide angle, room was below average in size (from our previous experience). But as we would be out most of day, we put up with it. Bed itself was excellent, however the outside noise, air-con etc means that light sleepers will need another holiday after staying here. Breakfast (not included) was massively over-priced and wait time is horrendous, but then eating in a hotel has its price. We tried some of the diners within 5mins walk and ate for less than half the price and much better experience. The bar itself has a funny odour and seems popular for the local office crowd. If you want an Irish bar experience try any of the ones within minutes walk.
I am tempted to give the hotel 2 stars, but will only give one because we have stayed in other better hotels and paid less and given that I thought hotel prices had come down was getting a great deal for this "4 star" hotel ??? I got the feeling this was a great hotel 20 years ago and that some day they will find the palce is about to fall down.
Would recommend Millenium UN Plaza and Marriott Marquis as better hotels for same or less price.
