Shocked!
I can only imagine what this place was in its day. Probably one of the dirtiest hotels I've ever been in NY. Shocked that Hilton lends its name to this. The hotel is allegedly under renovations but don't worry you won't see any workers. Some of the personnel have too much attitude an you wonder if they still think they are in 1982. Maybe because all the carpets are circa 1982. Don't stay anywhere below the 7th floor, you won't be able to regulate your room's temperature. When I called downstairs to complain because my room was too warm, the lady at the front counter asked me to open a window. When my shower and toilet got clogged the service man showed me the black mold inside the toilet. Don't dare to move a chair, the dust bunnies might bite you. The antique reproductions in many common areas are pretty tacky, buy real antiques they are not that expensive and they will give the hotel the charm and personality that it needs so desperately.
