Tired Hotel
I have to say that while the hotel is in a fabulous location close to central park, the Metropolitan and Guggenheim and the neat places in the Upper west Side and Harlem, with lots of cafes and especially a great Bagel place called Tal Bagel, and the subway connections were great, we found the hotel a little rundown and definately our room let in all the considerable noise outside. In fact, because the air conditioner was put in the window and then tape was used to try and seal the space ( which had disappeared in one section , so the cold night air was blowing in - although the hotel staff did at least put more tape on the next day), we could hear conversations on the street below , as if the window was open. Add to that the fact that there were construction things on the street that made noise everytime a car went over them - i didn't sleep at all the first night and only slightly better the other nights. Now I know NYC is busy and people do stuff 24/7, but this was very noisy. The room itself was fair, although some of the slats for the blinds had been broken off, there were only sheers on 2 of the windows , so it was very bright, the toilet handle was cracked too. As I said, we did like being away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area, but close enough to visit when we wanted. But no, won't stay at this hotel on our next visit.
