Too big and too noisy
I stayed at he Sheraton,53rd Streer recently for a business trip. The hotel is in a good location in midtown Manhattan, surrounded by restaurants and other hotels.The hotel was exteremly crowded, there were wall to wall people in the lobby and getting to the check in desk was difficult. I was on line for over 20 minutes (4th on line) due to the fact that the hotel had one person working the front desk. There were two other hotel staff just standing at the desk but did not assist any of the guests in front of me. This struck me as odd since it was 3PM which is the hotels check in time. My room was clean and I found the staff to be friendly when I had to speak with them. I did not spend any tme at the hotel due to the fact that there were a constant stream of people in and out of the hotel. The hotel bar is small and crowded.This would not be my first choice for a hotel in Manhattan. The hotel is overpriced and too crowed to enjoy any of the amenities that the hotel may offer. There are better alternatives in the city.
