Nice Pool and large rooms, but pricey
We booked this hotel in part because we wanted to be in the upper east side and because it had a pool. We rented through hotels.com and it was a bit pricey, at $300 per night with taxes. On the plus side, it was very quiet, the pool was wonderful, the room was very large and the staff was friendly giving us suggestions on restaurants and helping us with a broken phone and lamp. On the negative side, we had checked to see if the pool would be open late on the weekends when we arrived and were told it would be open to 10 pm. It closed at 6 pm on weekends so we could not use it the night we arrived. Also, the in-room refrigerator was locked and turned off so we could not use it to store fruit. We also could not get a late check out which made it a hassle. Finally, for the price it would be nice to have plush sheets and towels instead of threadbare linens. All in all, it was convenient and we liked the pool, but probably would not rent there again.
