Lousy accomodation
I attended a conference at the Hilton and booked a room for the night before. Fortunately, my company paid for it, not me. The room rate was $569 a night so I assumed the room would be quite nice. With taxes the room was over $600 at check out.
The room (last room in hallway on 8th floor) had stains on the carpet, the light flickered in the bathroom; the light switch in the bathroom was cracked (dangerous), the toilet seat was cracked at the back and the plug was yanked out of the tub and sitting on the side of the bathtub.(ugh) When I took a shower, the tub didn't drain. Probably one of the biggest rip offs in NY. I complained to the front desk at check out and she awareded me some bonus Hilton points. 
There are many
 DECENT and nice hotels in NY which are much cleaner and much more inexpensive. Try On the Avenue for example.
This place is in dire need of an upgrade. I usually like Hilton's, but not this one.
