Tired, dated, cold, filthy and small room...extremely disappointing
What a disappointment.
Having visited NY 29 years ago and stayed at the "super exclusive" Waldorf Astoria, I decided it was a must for my trip to NY this year. I cannot believe I went to the effort to book it....and more to the point, I tried to book it for my entire 10 day trip! Thank goodness I couldn't get a room for the whole time.
This hotel is riding on its previous coat tails. It was extremely disappointing. The lobby is grand, but our room was cold (couldn't turn the heat up at all), small, the bathroom was absolutely tiny and full of mould......it was as clean as this ancient bathroom could be, I'll grant them that... The location is OK, but we ended up at The Plaza for the rest of our stay and you just cannot compare the two hotels.
I will never go back to this dark and depressing hotel.
