Too hot to handle.
We arrived after 10:00 p.m. on a Sunday night after a long drive. We looked forward to settling down for a restful night. But, after there was no staff at the door to help us in with our luggage and security at the door scolded us for leaving our car at the curb while we carried in our bags, we knew we were in for a long night. The staff were more concerned with accommodating the long line outside who were there for the rooftop lounge than the hotel guests. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful providing us with internet access as we were there to bring donations and volunteer to help with Hurricane Sandy victims. The room was very small and the 2 of us were tripping over each other trying to get from one side of the room to the other. No closet to hang our clothes. The air conditioner was antiquate and even with the window open we were unable to sleep because of the heat. (We went in November!) The bathroom is tiny with the paint peeling. The best part of the hotel is the location, directly opposite to Lincoln Center and within walking distance of Central Park. I was able to find parking on the street a few blocks away to avoid the $35.00/night garage fee. There is a starbucks two doors away which was handy as there was no place to grab a cup of coffee at the hotel.
