Good value as far as New York is concerned
The suite was nice and very big. Large selection of TV channels and the air conditioning was good.
All the staff we encountered were extremely pleasant particularly one gentleman who was usually around the lobby holding the elevator for guests.
He informed us that Obama and Romney were going to be having dinner in the Waldorf just across the road the next day so there could be disruption around the area, but too be honest it wasn't too bad. Mainly just a large police presence and we asked not to use our balconies for a couple of hours while the "dignitaries" were moving around.
The bathroom was stocked with a nice selection of toiletries and the room had a microwave which we didnt use but it was handy to know it was there if needed.
The only problem I encountered was the noise of the pipes in the bathroom. It seems to be a common occurence looking at some other reviews.
The location is nice and it suited us as we used the train to get back to JFK so we were only a couple of minutes walk from the subway station we needed.
I have rated it 3 out of 5. It would have been 4 but any hotel in this day and age that still charges its guests for internet acces automatically gets deducted a point by me :-)
