Loud air conditioning!
I recently stayed 4 nights at the Strand and to be honest was disappointed, specially after reading many positive feedback. The good things about the Hotel is the location, rooftop bar and friendly staff. The bad things are the rooms that are small, VERY loud airconditioning that woke me up several time during the night and the bathroom that is very tiny. Don't use the minibat, Fiji water price is $8. For the price there are many better hotels in NYC and I won't be back here
