Good business hotel
The Soho Grand New York is a good hotel in a great area. With good shopping, bars and restaurants within walking distance this hotel is ideal.
The rooms are well designed although a little small. I stayed for business on a whirlwind trip, booking last minute I managed via a travel agent to get a room, so did not have a choice of rooms. The room was well appointed, room service breakfast was good and super speedy, yet like everything in NYC expensive!
General ambience was good, the bar very crowded but good and serviced relatively well. My only complaint would have been that on check in I was not informed that a deposit of $150 per day was taken off my card, this should be been made very clear. Whilst it was not a problem I was a little irritated that I had not been told. My second gripe was that we sat in the lounge area by the bar, I went to get drinks from the bar and my party were told off for getting our own drinks as the lounge area was apparently waiter service only. Again this was not clear and the service was not speedy, given that we had little time before we had to depart the hotel it made more sense to get our own drinks.
The porters and concierge were fabulous, overall a good hotel, I would certainly stay here again be it business or pleasure.
