The quietest room in New York
My nature is to find what is wrong with a place rather than focus on the positive. I'm a critic. Thankfully my wife was along to point out how amazingly quiet our room was. This is in the Heart of Manhattan and we hardly heard a peep morning, noon or middle of the night. It made for a very relaxing stay. However, this hotel is only average. The room service, restaurants, and overall quality of the fixtures throughout the hotel are not up to the 5 star rating many sites seem to give it. One big negative is the elevators. They always have an operator. No one rides by themselves. Not only does it feel strange, but you have to wait because they only have one or two operating at a time. Seems like an outdated practice. Similarly, the restaurants refused to let me take anything out. Nothing, not even a drink could be taken to the room. You have to call room service. The staff tried to play this as a legal regulation, which would be strange since every other hotel in New York lets you do it. So, in the end, despite the quiet room, I probably wouldn't stay here again unless it was a ridiculously good deal.
