Busy, Busy, Busy
The 1300 room Milford is undergoing reconstruction, and the entry lobby and restaurant is still to be finished. Refurbished rooms are smallish but fine in modern Ikea-style. Prices are great for the location, but because of the standby entry and lobby for checking in and out is overloaded with people everywhere. Large tour groups from Europe and airline personnel keep this place hopping. This is compounded with checkin supposedly not until 4pm; and checkout at noon.This means that half the people are hanging around waiting to check-in and the other half are people having checked out, but no place to go while waiting for transportation to the airport. Luggage has to be checked with the porters or is left everywhere for people to trip over.
The air conditioners are a bit too loud to get a truly restful sleep. Elevators are new with security considerations and take some getting used to; often times overloaded. Dont get me wrong, I think this will become a fine hotel for the average traveller when all is completed. It is located right between Times Square and Hell's Kitchen, so how can it miss?!
Another disappointment is no free internet; but go down the street to a Starbucks or to Junior's for free wireless..
