This hotel has very nice rooms, a decent restaurant, and is in a very very convenient location if you are going to New York to see the Intrepid or Pier 84 (or really like to walk). Once you know the location and are comfortable with the location then be advised that other than a nice view of midtown (if you pay for the city view upgrade) then there is little else to this hotel. Their rooftop bar, Press Lounge, is fine if you happen to be so lucky as to getting to see it. The whole time we were there it was closed each night for "private events." Even though those private events are not on the Press Lounge calendar, the most you can hope for from a front desk manager (like the one who was working Saturday evening, 06 October 2012, is an annoyed "Yeah, it's closed, sorry about that."
Wouldn't stay here again, and will seriously consider whether we go with the Kimpton brand in the future.
