Way overprized
The price on booking.com was $259 per night, so for that kind of money you expect something very good. But the Manhattan Bridge is barely average, and I've stayed in much better hotels for far less money. On paper, the rooms have everything you need. But the safe, for instance, is at the bottom of a cupboard that is only 2 feet from the bed. So getting anything in or out of the safe requires crawling around on the floor. There is a desk, with a deskchair, but the deskchair doesn't actually fit in between bed and desk and lives somewhere else in the room. The bathroom though is quite well designed. Rooms are clean, housekeeping staff is friendly but they do try and break down your door if you sleep in a bit, and have forgotten the 'do not disturb' sign. Sound-proofing is minimal and the hotel is quite noisy. Although I was on the 10th floor, just a few floors lower are half a dozen external airconditioning units on top of the next building, blasting away all day and night. My room had a 'conneting door', and I could hear every word said in the next room. Breakfast was very limited and disappointing, no fresh fruit or vegetables, and one of my croissants smelled suspiciously off. Finally, if you need to go to JFK, do not use their limo service. Driver kept texting while we were on the highway, and then tried to rip me off: Although the sign at the hotel said that the price includes toll, the driver tried to get me to pay another $7 above the posted price. Yellow cabs have fixed prices to/from JFK and are cheaper.
