Classic service, nice accomodations
I stayed at the Waldorf twice in the last year. The most recent stay was the nights of 1/23 and 1/24/2012. As a Hilton Honors member I was upgraded to a superior corner room on the 10th floor. The famous Waldorf Towers have the top floors of the hotel. I don't know how many they have, but most floors are the regular hotel. I saw the beautiful Grand Ballroom - make sure you check it out if you're in the neighborhood. It kind of looks like Carnegie Hall! The service is outstanding at this hotel, but my room wasn't real special. The furnishings are a bit old and the heating/ac system also is a bit dated. The room was comfortable - but you are not paying top prices here - the regular base Waldorf does not have high prices by NYC standards. The Towers is pricey - and I don't know what the rooms are like up there. The location of the hotel is ideal. Lots of history there. I hear the base rooms are small - so always go for an upgrade.
