great location, first rate service
My wife and I just returned from a five night business trip to the City and stayed at Hotel 36 (Doubletree) based on price and reviews we read on this site and Bookin.com. We had a wonderful stay and found the hotel not only in a tremendous location but run by a young energetic, thoughtful and eager to please staff. Despite the fact that their computer system went down the blink for two days and the business area and computer were not working and that staff had to open all doors everyone (guests and staff) adjusted dealt with the inconvenience professionally and in a timely manner and we did not hear one complaint. We booked a room with a king bed that was very clean with nice modern bathroom and great shower but exceptionally small. THey allowed us to switch the next day to a double on the same floor (making for an easy move). The new room was larger with more drawer space and a small fridge. They have a restaurant and serve a buffet breakfast that looked delicious but was not included. sThe bar in the lounge had a very pleasant bartender who made the early evening very pleasant with a generous pour. There is also a pretty good fitness room in the basement with two treadmills and two ellipticals and some free weights, the cardio equipment have installed tvs. A very pleasant stay at a most reasonable price we will absolutely return. As we were working at the Javits Center location was perfect an easy four block walk downhill to boot. Loved it.
