My Home Away From Home
This is the most awesome hotel. I began staying there when it was the Rihga Royal. One of the best things about this hotel is the staff. They really make me feel at home. The decor is modern, which is not my taste normally, but I love it. The bed is the most comfortable I have ever slept in-better than my own bed. The rooms are huge, but homey. The rooms are cleaned totally every day. To be green, the sheets are only changed every other day, unless you request daily.(Didn't bother me as I wash sheets once a week.) Every other day is heaven. The double shower in some rooms is fabulous - but the tub and shower in others is equally as outstanding. It just feels wonderful to feel welcomed by the doorman when we first arrive. They have always known who we are when we first arrive. The fact that they remember us when we only visit once or twice a year is awesome. They knew exactly who we were after an absence of 3 years. And, the fact that we see the same staff year after year tells me that they treat their employees right or they wouldn't still be there. It is within walking distance of anything you could want-Carnegie Deli, Stage Deli, Carnegie Hall, Times Square, 5th Avenue, Central Park. Great location.It is just a wonderful place to stay and enjoy NYC. Wish I could do it more often. Actually, I wish I was like Eloise that lived at the Plaza--Katie that lives at the London!!!!!!!! Friendly, friendly place.
