They don't make them like this anymore!
Check in was extremely friendly and nice and I was treated to a lovely corner room on the 22nd floor. As others have said, the rooms are a bit small but mine was very clean and orderly. 
The best aspect of the Waldorf are the public spaces. The lounges, lobby, restaurants all reflect a lost era. They even have a dress code which I had not seen since my stay at the Greenbriar. There as no enforcement that I could see but at least they made an effort.
Of course coffee is expensive! With fairly reasonable room rates, all of this luxury has to be paid for somehow. It seems some people wants Walfdorf service and luxury at Hampton Inn prices!
My only complaint (and it is significant), is that my bathtub did not drain. I called three times before it was repaired. Not so good from a place like this!
Otherwise, go ahead and treat yourself.
