Beware of Rooms That Need Repair!
Once you get past the pleasant two story attractive lobby, it's hard to find anything positive to say other than Gramercy Park area is a great location for restaurants and offers a quiet neighborhood without compromising things to do, places to walk or access to public transportation. We were informed that Marriott Corporation took over management two months ago, and there's plenty of evidence of poor quality control not typical of Marriott. The first room we checked into had a disgusting odor so we moved (even though we were told the hotel was sold out). On the second try, things went from bad to worse. This time the microscopic bathroom had peeling wallpaper, a broken faucet, HVAC system control was broken, tired furnishing and dusty ! I had the hotel manager inspect the room and he agreed to reimburse our stay. Weeks later now, we still have not been compensated for paying for a superior room that was a total ripoff. One positive, we didn't notice any bed bugs as was noted in another review.
