Worst hotel I have ever had the misfortune of staying in. Despite booking a deluxe room it was internal facing the air conditioning units. It was unbearably noisy. The bathroom was tiny and filthy. We went straight to complain and ask to leave and get a refund. The receptionist said this was possible via hotels.com but the manager refused. We had booked for 3 nights but were able to cancel the remaining 2 nights and move elsewhere. They did eventually after numerous conversations move us to another room but our stay was ruined. Reception were kind and tried their best but the manager was rude and aggressive.

Just before midnight the front desk called to let me know the previous guest would be coming to my room to retrieve something he left behind. When I explained that my child was sleeping and I didn’t want a stranger coming to my room, I was told I didn’t have a choice. Security personal entered my room at midnight to search the safe and the item was not there. This is unacceptable. I will not be returning nor do I recommend anyone going to this hotel.

Housekeeping staff was very nice. I loved the north facing room, great view of tree lights in Dante Park and Lincoln Center. Elevators are fast, front desk staff is nice. Only downside was the occasional noises made by the heater and the 2 nights when, for a few hours, there was no heat and the temp in the room got down to 65F.

They will charge you $20 extra per night as a “residence fee.” So factor that into your total cost. Which is really annoying because the gym in the basement is mediocre at best. So what else was I paying for? I didn’t use the pool. I didn’t use the gym. So what gives? Not cool to spring that cost on someone after they’ve already booked on Expedia.

My stay at this hotel was okay overall, but it did not meet my expectations for the price. At check-in, one front desk staff member was rude, which made the arrival uncomfortable. However, the staff member who actually checked me in later was very kind and professional, which I appreciated. We chose the 9th floor instead of the 7th specifically for the view. Unfortunately, once we entered the room, I was shocked by how small it was. The room felt very cramped for two double beds, and the bathroom was also extremely small. It did not feel worth what I paid. There were no trash bags in the room or bathroom upon arrival. When I called housekeeping, they brought very large black trash bags, which didn’t feel appropriate for a hotel room. On the second day, housekeeping cleaned the room well, but the bathroom trash bag was not replaced. On the third day, I asked again for the room to be tidied and trash bags replaced, and I tipped $10. When we returned, the beds were made, but there were still no trash bags in either bin. I had to call again, and what was brought seemed more like laundry bags. Additionally, on the first night, there were visible stains on the pillow and blanket, which made me uncomfortable. I requested new bedding for one bed and received it, but this should not have been an issue. The hotel was responsive when contacted, but for over $150, the experience did not match my expectations. I wish I had researched this hotel more before booking.

Do not stay here. The staff is snooty, the property is dirty and poorly maintained. The rooms and bathrooms have virtually zero ventilation and all paint, baseboards, and wallpaper are peeling. The property is nearly impossible to contact even when actively staying there. I received a charge when I caused zero damage to the room and have attempted to contact the property via phone and email for the last week to no avail. I did not even receive my receipt upon checkout, which I was told I would receive via email. Upon checkout, the luggage storage attendants were horribly rude and making fun of us right in front of our faces for having to add one more bag to the count. Horrible experience, will never return.
