room with a view (only on standing!)
The upholstery was shabby. It didnt feel as if it was a 4star hotel. The windows were so high that u could not look out if u sat on the bed or on the single dirty chair. We requested 4 a room with a good view but the staff refused flatly saying they had no 2 doublebedded rooms with good views, but i found my room with wonderful views of the river as well as empire state building- very strange attitude of the staff ! How long can one stand and admire the view ?Since the hotel is undergoing renovations i suggest they seriously consider increasing the window size so that one gets a good view without having to stand ! This is the only good thing about the hotel .After i complained that the hotel was not upto the mark they sent a microwave and a fridge to my room! normally i think they charge extra 4 the microwave .In the mornings there's a hotdog van down at the entrance which has good bagels and coffee. At the next street are numerous places serving lovely food. taxi takes about 5-7$ to times square or u can walk it. No free wifi either.
