So I was travelling with my dad to NYC, meaning that I needed to look up some nice decent hotel, meaning $$$. So I looked up several hotels, and I came through this one, that had pretty much everything I was looking for, except that when I read the reviews I was confused of if staying or not. So I took the chance, I do recall that one reviewer said that the renovated rooms were fine, so when I called to book, I said several times, please make sure it's the renovated one, but the guy just said: ok I will put a note but can't assure anything.
When we arrived, there was this strong humid smell in the air, of oldness, I couldn't believe that the elevator even had a door, really old. So we went up our room on 7th floor, and it was small, humid smell in the air, and... it was just bad. So I went down to the reception and asked if they could switch me to one of the renovated rooms and he kindly went over to his manager and said that we wanted another room because it was small (which I didn't say and found it quite cool) so they passed us to another room.
So.. have you guys ever seen pictures of the rooms of hotels, but when you get there you never get the one from the picture? well.. I must say, that we got the one from the photo! hurray!
The staff was very friendly, helpful in our case. There are a lot of grocery stores around, you will never starve that's for sure. The subway is just like 2 min walking distance away and your like a couple blocks away from Central Park.
