Search Elsewhere - Unless You Really Need to Stay Here
I know we're all looking for a good deal when we go to NY. And finding a nice priced hotel in this city is hard, but I can't emphasize the need to find another hotel besides this one if you like to feel like you're valued as a guest. I even selected this hotel because of its proximity to my company's office. You would think that with the Millenium brand it would be a better hotel. But, here's how the Millenimum disappointed:
1) This hotel often hosts large groups and I arrived at check-in time for another group. My wait in line was so long and the line behind me was even longer. I felt sorry for all of us. It just made us all grumpy. Also: the main entry way was lined with bags from a previous group. It was just congested. Gave me anxiety to see that many bags in the entrance. 
2). The room I was first given - 3606 - had the following issues: the carpet was dirty (yuck) and there would be no way in the world I would walk barefoot in this room. The duvet was lumpy, one of the lamps bulbs was out, the lamp base was filthy with finger prints (see picture I uploaded), there was a blond hair under the comforter when I pulled it back, there were towels from the previous guest still hanging on the bathroom door, and the soap dish was crooked/old. All of these issues I uploaded pictures here in TA - take a look.
3) Bathroom amenities were of poor quality. I would need to wash my hands 3 times with their soap just to feel like my hands were clean. I just ended up using my own soap that I had brought - thank goodness. 
I will give credit to the hotel staff for the following reasons:
1) I obviously complained about the status of this room and they attempted to fix it by sending Facilities to fix the lamp, Housekeeping to bring new towels (and forgot to take the old ones). I didn't want this room, needless to say and requested a new room. The manager gave me a voucher for breakfast but added that there are "750 rooms in this hotel and I can't know the condition of every one of them." Ummm, excuse me, but that's not quite the attitude I expected from the manager - his name was Michael, btw.
2) He did move me to a better room however. It was a higher floor (same kind of view) and I really couldn't believe the difference. This newer room had a large window area on two sides, was much bigger, with a larger bathroom, and decorated a lot better. I must have been upgraded a level...but still some lingering issues: dirty carpet and there were cobwebs and stains on the wallpaper near the door. 
3) The bed was much better and no lumpy duvet this time - see pics of the upgraded room.
4) Elevators worked well.
Although I did not experience it, my colleagues later told me that this hotel has been known to have bedbugs. The good news about that is that if they did, they were forced to clean it out so it's probably cleaner than some other hotels. However, the hotel snob that I am, I will not stay here again. I want clean walls, working fixtures, clean carpet.
