Fabulous Hotel and great staff
We booked to stay for three nights over the New Year and after reading some of the reviews I was very apprehensive, I didn't need to be, we arrived and were greated by the door man who sent us up to check in which was smooth and easy and the staff were lovely, our room was on the 41st floor with a Hudson River view as asked for and very clean. The view was lovely even at night it was great to sit and look out. The king size bed very comfortable and was needed at the end of the long days exploring. The bathroom had all the usual amenities shampoo, conditioner so forth and a huge double shower which was always hot. Plenty of free view TV if you found the time, tea and coffe, hairdryer, iron and board, everything you would expect from a good hotel. The room was very quiet so a good nights sleep was had even when we had the window open for some fresh air.
The location of the hotel was brilliant right on Times Square and easy walking distance to all the sites you will want to visit.
The bar was really nice and the staff were great. We didn't eat in the restaurant as we were out too much and New Year Eve was booked up.
We were given champagne and cheeses on New Years Eve in our room which was nice and escorted out at 11pm to view the ball drop at 12, this did save sitting outside with everyone else for many hours ( must stress you are not allowed into Times Square from around 2pm unless you are inside the barricades where you have to stay till midnight. Also if you do not pay the extra for the ball drop you will not see it from the Hotel at all and will need st stand for hours in the square)
The hotel had organised the evening very well as the hotel was full and everyone was in good spirits.
We had a great stay and would stay again anytime of year.
Won't add any pics as other peoples are the same as the ones I have.
