OK Hotel, Marred by Poor Amenities and Bad HVAC
The hotel itself is OK, rooms are reasonably comfortable and you do get a cookie. but that doesn't make up for the fact that they have a terrible heating and cooling system.
I checked in and my room was 78 degrees according to the thermostat. I tried to cool it down, but warm air kept coming out of the air conditioner. When I talked to the engineer he said that the air conditioning was off "for the winter", even though it was over 70 degrees outside today in New York.
They might want to save a little money by putting in sub-standard cooling and heating - or just turning off the air conditioning. I could see a cheapo hotel doing that. But for more than $300 a night, I expect functioning HVAC.
My Hobbesian Choice - try to sleep with the window open and the incredibly loud street noise (impossible) or try to sleep in a room that's as warm as an oven (also impossible).
If you're here in the summer, I'm sure it's cool in the rooms. But don't try to stay here any other time.
I won't stay here again.
