A bouncer on the lifts???
A very New York hotel (not necessarily in a good way), the very smallest hotel room I have ever encountered, and a bouncer on the lifts: hopefully the last time I encounter one of those as well.
The receptionist made quite a point of saying that we had asked for a quiet room, and she was allocating us a nice quiet inside room, presumably to pre-empt any complaints: 'but you asked for a quiet room ...' A tiny hanging area, not that you could get at it anyway, because the access was blocked by the desk; cupboard space that was largely occupied by the minibar and safe; the only way two persons could occupy the room at the same time was in bed.
Housekeeping was fine, though the room was due for a deep clean, and the bathroom though equally small was adequate.
The bouncer ... one evening during our stay there was a party on one of the upper floors and a bouncer (no other word for it, he was as wide as he was tall, and ludicrously menacing) barring access to all but one lift; the other two, he explained, were for (a) people going up to the party and (b) people coming down from it. Everyone else just had to stand in line.
The hotel was very well located for our purposes, and the room was quiet, apart from the very noisy AC unit. But I think I'd like a room I could turn round in next time.
