Way Too Noisy
Paid $399 for one night. Was put on 4th floor. Hotel is nice enough - room is clean, bright. Bathroom clean. No complaints there. We came back to our room at 10:30pm to find a loud, wild party in the rooms adjacent to ours (the 'Mezzanine' as hotel front desk told us) - the front desk told us the rooms had been rented for a party that would end by 11:30pm. Until then, we had loud door banging, screaming (at least they were having fun) and people in/out the hallway / elevators. It did, though, quiet down by around 11:30pm. But we constantly hear doors banging, chairs scraping above & next to us on the wood floor, voices, babies...not to mention the trucks outside our window on the street below (which is really the only acceptable noise in a hotel in NYC). We were wakened the next morning by a loud family with yelling parents, crying kids and the whole bucket. I'm a big fan of kids and of traveling with kids; and no fault to the parents (except for their yelling!) - I get it that sometimes kids will fuss. But bad on the hotel for having such think walls, etc, that you can hear nearly every conversation. The walls must be very thin - it was very, very noisy and was a terrible night. We were exhausted the next day on what was supposed to be a fun day of walking around NYC. I will not stay here again - ever. To the hotel - while you can't build new walls, here's one suggestion - enable your AC/heater to keep the fan on at all times. Most hotels have this feature - which creates good white noise to drown out the noise that I described above. But Tryp's thermostat only keeps the fan on while the heat is on - it shuts off as soon as temp is reached. A simple solution that would probably make your noise-averse guests much happier!
