Great room, location not so great.
Recently stayed at the Skyline with a friend while on a Christmas shopping trip to NY, hotel was fine, room really big with two double beds, cleaned every day & fresh towels. The safe wasn't working when we got to our room but after ringing down someone came straight up to fix it. The shower wasn't working properly, very low pressure & only luke warm bordering on cold. We advised reception & an engineer was meant to come up & fix it but it wasn't fixed & remained the same throughout our visit. Restaurant was fine, I'd give breakfast a miss as there are plenty of places around to eat, we had an evening meal in the restaurant & that was fine. The only thing I would say about the location is the fact it's on 10th Avenue & at night between 8th & 10th Avenue there are a few places you do feel quite vulnerable, that said we never had any problems but in future I wouldn't stay so far down. I would recommend the NY Onboard Tours, we had a great day with them. The Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island were closed due to the storm damage & we were advised they probably wouldn't be open to visit until around March/April 2013.
