Overated
I was surprised to read many positive review on the Waldorf. I have stayed there several times on business. Each time I was given a small room, frayed looking. Last time the bathroom smelled like dirty rags. The mirror was faded. The rug partially torn. The soap dish too small for the soap bar. The computers in the business center had filthy keyboards that had never been cleaned, ever. There is no coffee machine, nor room for any in small rooms. The linens, towels, pillows and soaps are nice. But there are so many nicer hotels to stay in for the money it is astonishing to me that so many peole would give them a great review. The public rooms are nice, with a lot of history, but the hotel can not live off it's famous name withouth delivering the same quality as the competition. They do not. It seems the best reviews come from people who were upgraded to Suites. I suggest you try a Suite if you want to stay at the Waldorf, otherwise I can name you 10 better places to stay.
