Tourist Class Hilton
The New York Hilton has really never been a very alluring property and it has continued to worsen over the years. The property, while very large in the way of amount of rooms, is more of a tourist class hotel now than ever before. An example of this is immediately noticeable when you walk in the main entrance into the lobby, which is quite large and offers ZERO furnishings and/or furniture for guests and/or visitors to sit, as would be the case in most properties. This is likely because the lobby would be overran with groups who would simply cause traffic nightmares in the check-in, check-out area and therefore the hotel has decided to not put any furniture in the lobby at all.
My room was on the Executive floor, specifically 43. I was upgraded to a one bedroom suite due to my Honors status and my booked room rate was just over $500 per night, which was for an Executive King. While I am appreciative of the upgrade, the room was purely average at best, had zero wall hangings on the room wall and had very outdated furniture and horrible carpeting. On this Executive floor there is not any noticeable difference to that of any lower floors, other than you can utilize the Executive lounge on the 44th floor.
There is only one restaurant in this property and it is below average and is nothing more than a cafe style entity. The lounge is OK and decorated nice, I believe it is named the Bridge Bar and it offers sandwiches after the restaurant closes. I had a $9 hotdog and a $6 side of french fries, served by a bartender who was quite elderly and allowed me to sit there for 8 minutes before even acknowledging me, and there was virtually no crowd when I was there. Further, the staff of four, who I saw in the Bridge Bar, only spoke Spanish to each other which I believe is unnecessary and unprofessional while working within the confines of an American locale. 
The check-in process was quite fast as they had a special location for Diamond/Executive Floor guests and Anika was quite friendly. There was no doorman who greeted my car service and no bellman approached as I walked from my car into the lobby. 
Make no mistake, this property is not and should not be a choice location for a business executive or one who plans on entertaining their guests within the drink and food establishments. There are far better properties than the NYC Hilton and be prepared for long lines at the elevator banks if you happen to get there when groups check-in. The property does serve a purpose, it just doesn't and didn't serve mine. It's my fault for not listening to my gut prior to booking. This property is not deserving of the name Hilton but due to its size it will likely not be changing any time soon. Truly, it's more like a Ramada or perhaps even a Holiday Inn at best.
