After thoroughly researching hotels in New York City, I decided that Dream fit the bill -- interesting design, full list of amenities, good location, and relatively reasonable prices. I was in NYC for 4 nights on business, and my wife joined me for 3 nights. We both commented that the room was large for a room in NYC. It was clean, modern, interesting design, king bed, nice linens, desk with high-speed connection, plasma tv, bathrobes, closet, clean bathroom with tub/shower, mini bar, and really cool blue lighting. The room was very comfortable. Our room was on the 12th floor (room 1207, I believe) and we had two windows facing east, which provided us with great light throughout the day. The noise level was relatively low and the view was pretty good. The rooftop bar is a cool and comfortable spot to have a before- or after-dinner drink. The staff were outstanding throughout our visit -- helping me set up my internet connection, taking the mattress topper off our bed to firm it up a bit, providing directions and recommendations, hailing cabs, etc. I dealt with a gentleman named Adam who must have been one of the supervisors, and he went above-and-beyond the call to make sure I had everything I needed and that we were comfortable. All interactions with the staff were extremely pleasant, helpful, and polite. The location was great, 7th and 55th, right near the subway, easy to get cabs, plenty of retail and restaurants nearby, close to theatres and Central Park. This is a great contemporary alternative to the characterless chain hotels or the "old world charm" hotels. I am now looking for any excuse to get back to New York -- and when I do, I will be staying at Dream.
