A pleasant surprise...
My wife thinks I am a hotel snob, maybe. I booked the Le Parker Meridian because a friend was also staying there. I couldn't have been more pleased. Outstanding service was provided from the moment we walked through the lobby. Our room was ready and very nice with modern decor and a view of Central Park. The hotel was convenient to everything we wanted to do in NY and the subway was a short block away for the trip to the WTC Memorial. This hotel exceeded my expectations and we were 100% satisfied with our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful to two newcomers on their first visit to NY, the bar on the ground floor of the hotel had the best cappuccino, I thought I was in Italy.
Great stay, excellent service and best of all, one very happy wife.
