We recently stayed here for a few days from 30 August- 3 September mainly to attend a wedding. The front of house staff were most welcoming and after a long journey although our rooms were not ready we were offered tea and coffee and comfortable chairs to wait the 20 minutes or so. We checked in as part of a large group and it was handled with professionalism and warm politeness.
The room we had was modern in design with an en suite superb power shower and deep square bath with a separate WC. The storage was slightly limited plenty of hanging space but limited drawer space. The Dressing table mirror was on the back of the large TV which we never actually switched on ( way too much else to do!) It would have been nice to have had some additional lighting here as I struggled to make-up. Very comfortable good sized bed which is a must for both of us as we have problem backs. There was a workstation desk on the large unit next to the TV/ Mirror. Minor criticism, was the internet service was a little patchy from here and we had to keep logging in every few minutes.. which if we had been travelling for business could have been a problem. However at reception there is a laptop for guest use and reception here was excellent.
The reception area has free tea/ coffee all day and a complimentary glass of wine in the early evening which was lovely after a long day sightseeing. There is a bar area outside presumably only in the warmer evenings which seemed popular with local office workers and had a lovely atmosphere. The Bar at the back of the hotel was a pleasant place to have a drink but was quite noisy due to the solid flooring.
We found the hotel an excellent base with nearby subway stations and the lovely South Street Seaport close by with shopping and eateries. There are also several small Deli/ cafe's nearby where you can have a breakfast to go salads bagels etc to order.
The staff without exception were helpful and gave us suggestions for places to visit and local information. Even the housekeeping staff were polite and helpful. Our room and bathroom were kept spotless throughout our stay and the snacks and mini bar kept replenished.
Very Highly recommended overall!
