Nice people - marginal property
For a change, we decided to stay on the upper east side so we could be close to the Metropolitan Art Museum and Flushing Meadows for the U.S. Open. On the positive side, the staff was delightful and helpful. The room was small and minimally acceptable, but acceptable. Clean enough. Bed was comfortable. Just old and worn out was the room, you know? Kind of like camping, but not glamorous camping or glamping. It was basic. Dark halls enroute. Slow elevators. Uninspired lobby. And, last and least, the property was in a current construction zone. It was walkable to the Met. The doormen helpful too. One block from the Barking Dog for breakfast. So, while I admit we would possibly stay there again, this is not the Ritz.
