PLEASE Read this BEFORE Booking
I have to give a rating for this to register, So 5/5 for the location
 This is GENUINELY what happened to us... We arrived on the 6th Sept and was given a room on the 10th Floor, the room we where given was the smallest room we have ever stayed in, there wasn't any room to store any of my wife's dresses and the wardrobe was only big enough to hang about 8 "T" shirts, we asked to be moved, we were moved to the 15th floor when i entered the room there was a man laid on the bed, luckily he had the safety catch on. we got moved AGAIN(3 Rooms in 15 mins) the final room was on the 8th floor (the noise of traffic and roadworks in the area was non stop 24 hours a day (no soundproofing).
 We where going out so i had a shave and the sink wouldn't drain and the tap kept on dripping, we reported it and asked them if they would be good enough to have it sorted by the time we got back,which they ALMOST did. Tap was still dripping. anyway we got back at 12.45am, we flushed the toilet and it kept on flushing, i reported it after 15 mins still flushing, the front desk said sorry sir can we send an engineer up immediately ? i said yes if he comes now, 30 mins later he arrived, didn't totally fix it because the same thing happened the next day. at !.45am , the engineer decides to try and tell me what had happened and how the piping system worked. i told him politely to go because we where shattered.
 This particular room was supposed to be one of the bigger rooms in this hotel. the bath had enamel chipped off the surface bottom shower curtain was falling apart.
On leaving the Hotel at check-out we was asked "did you enjoy your stay" we said we loved NYC but the hotel was abysmal, when asked what the problem was i told the lady at the desk everything and she just smiled and said oh dear.....And the final insult when we vacated our room we asked if we could leave our luggage whilst we went for something to eat before our flight and was told to take our luggage to the second floor which we did we had two cases and a very small back pack and was charged 8 dollars could not believe it have never been charged for leaving luggage for one hour in any hotel we have ever stayed in. if you want a fantastic location their are plenty of other hotels, we will never stay at the paramount again and would not recommend it to anyone. Also don't forget to take a torch , you will need it to find your way around the corridors. Shop about you will find a lot better hotel out there, it maybe better to pay a little more and find a hotel that will make your holiday not ruin it. BUT i would like to end on a positive note in defence of the Paramount, This hotel is ideal if you only want to stay for Part of the night AND you don't have a change of clothes
 YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
