There are better options for the same money in New York-- go to the Warwick!
Hi there,
I never ever write reviews for anything just because I am always skeptical about the outlook of people who give scathing reviews and wonder if the glowing reviews are written by hotel staff/ affiliates. However, my experience at the Millenium has been so terrible it deserves a review. I have been in New York for a few days over the past couple of weeks. So, I have stayed in a number of mid-range priced hotels-- the Warwick, the Westin near times square and now the Millenium. The Millenium is by far the worst I have ever seen. 
I checked in at 7pm following my flight, and my room was not yet ready. Apparently, the room wasn't clean yet. So, I ask how long the room will take to be ready. The man at the desk responds that they are extremely short staffed and no one has the guts to tell the managers for fear of losing their jobs but that they are doing the best they can. He then throws drinks coupons at me, and asks me to wait. I proceed to the bar and have one drink and a salad. This takes about an hour. My room still isn't ready. I head back to the bar where I chat with other clientele who like me, have their bags and no room. 
At 9:30pm I am told my room is ready and that I am being upgraded to the Premier Tower. My room is on an extremely low level and backs up to an alley. So, I can hear all the LOUD sounds of the city and all the rooms when I step inside my room. I then notice that the bed is dirty, sheets are thrown all over, and the bathroom smells funky. This was the beginning of my stay. I will never stay there again, and will tell everyone I know to go to the Warwick. It is cheaper, cleaner and quieter. It is a better hotel. This hotel was the absolute pits--- please avoid at all costs and do not book your clients there!
