Overrated
My husband and I decided, last minute, to make a short trip to New York. And due to the fantastic location, we decided to stay at the St. Regis.
The good:
*The stuff is amazingly helpful and friendly.
*The St. Regis Bentley is a fantastic perk and the driver is super nice.
*The location is top notch.
*Bathrooms are gorgeous.
*Rooms are large.
The bad:
*Rooms are old and dilapidated. 
*Initially we were put in a room on the 3rd floor, facing a parking garage. The carpet had seen better days and the desk was completely thrashed. Despite the large size the room felt claustrophobic so we asked to be moved to a cleaner/newer room.
*Second room had a better view (19th floor) but was also old and scratched up. 
The bottom line:
This particular property cannot hold a candle to the St. Regis in San Francisco! And at the rates this property charges, they should (at the very least) compete with their less expensive properties in terms of their accommodations. Some serious renovations are in order before I'll stay here again.
