Nice Hotel
Stayed at the Roosevelt from December 12th to the 16th. All in all a very nice hotel but they do need to improve certain amenities, decor and service. 
We had a "Cozy Queen", it was small but very comfortable and well furnished and after all its NYC and most hotel rooms tend to be small. The bed was very comfortable, but had a very lumpy comforter as it had been washed frequently and the down filling had bunched up. I called housekeeping to request a fresh one and it arrived, lump free, within 5 minutes!! The shower head cannot be directed and when turned on blasts water onto the back shower wall and saturates the floor when you take a shower. So be careful when stepping out that you step onto the bath matt and don't slip on the tile floor!!! Maybe they should place a mop in each room!! The bathroom light is fluorescent and ours constantly flickered and made you feel like you are back at the office! The bathroom fixtures need to have a serious makeover, its old and drab and not in line with what you would expect at the Roosevelt. 
The in house bar closes at 1:30am which we thought was a little early, last orders are normally called approaching 1:00am. Drinks are pricey, but its Manhattan we expected them to be! Drink prices are inline with what you would expect to pay at the Bellagio in LV, therefore, not over the top but expect to pay around $55 for 4 cocktails!! Some of the bar staff appeared as they had a face like a slapped butt, in other words quite miserable!! I was told not to expect over the top customer service in NY and these guys didn't disappoint in that department!! And as 4 of us would regularly spend about $250 per night in the bar it would have been nice if the bar guys had made some form of an effort!! 
On the last night the concierge organized an SUV to take us to LGA for our flight home and total price was $82.00 with tolls. Taxi's do a standard rate from LGA for $40 to anywhere in Manhattan or Manhattan back to the airport. But as there was 6 of us this would have meant taking two taxi's.
The Roosevelt is a hotel that still charges for internet wifi access! Come on man, its 2012! Currently I'm staying at a Best Western in a small town in Illinois for $75 per night and these guys give all guests free in room wifi! For an average price of $275 per night it should be standard!!
I would rank the hotel a solid 3 out of 5. I would probably try a different hotel the next time in Manhattan though, they simply didn't impress enough to spend another $1300 with them!
