Not What Expected
We booked the Shoreham Hotel because the hotel looked great from the pictures online, the overeall rating provided by other travellers was very good, and the price seemed reasonable for what we were getting. However, when we got to the hotel, we were extremely disappointed by the fact that the hotel and our room didn't look anything like the pictures. The size of the room was extremely small, and the walls paper thin. In addition, for the price and the rating of the hotel (4 star), I was disappointed with how run down the upkeep of the hotel and our room was.
On a positive note, the front desk staff was extremely friendly, though we only interracted with the hotel staff on that one and only occasion. The hotel is also well situated on 55th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue; so very close to Central Park, 5th Avenue Shopping, the Rockafeller Centre, Theater District, etc.
