Grubby and overcrowded
Hotel lobby was like grand central station but without the beautiful architecture! Far too many conference guests, so you are jostled about whenever in the lobby or lifts.
Corridors are maze like as hotel is so big with so many rooms. Decor is bland, outdated & in need of an overhaul. Feels grubby & unloved.
Rooms are large & comfortable. Again decor is lacking & furniture looks ancient. Bed very comfortable though which is really the only good point.
Decent location being only a couple of blocks from union square & the shops & sightseeing. Walking distance to pretty much everything though should you need to get a cab to the airport then leave plenty of time as the queue at the taxi rank outside hotel was very long. Again this is probably due to the sheer number of guests it accommodates.
All in all not too bad but wouldn't want to spend my own money staying here!
