Not a good place to stay in NYC
Travelling as a couple we wanted to surprise ourselves with a night at the Hudson Hotel. Unfortunately it was a dissapointment. Due to a poor general air conditioning and heating system, this hotel cannot guarantee you will have a good night sleep. For the price they charge it is dissapointing, to say the least. Better spend your money on one of the many similarly price hotels in NYC which can guarantee you get a good night sleep.
Here the problems:
- Air conditioning systems in your room is very loud. Loud enough to negatively influence your sleeping. If you sleep towards the courtyard, as we did, opening the window is not recommended, because you will hear the extremely loud air con systems from all other guest rooms.
- Heating in our room could not be regulated (old heating system). The heater was at full power, and since we slept with Air Con off (it was too loud) at 4am in the morning our room temperature was at 27 degrees celsius. Sweating and impossible to sleep! A technician had to be called in at 4am to open the heating system and completely disactivate it.
- In order to cool down the room, without using the air con system, we opened the window, but as mentioned before, the air con systems of our neighbours were just too loud.
Conclusion: Beautiful hotel, friendly staff as long as you do not complain, but terrible air conditioning and heating systems which will spoil the basic service of a good night sleep. When we complained we were given a $100 deduction which we appreciate. But we would have preferred to have known beforehand and have simply booked elsewhere.
As long as their systems are not upgraded (which I believe they are doing), you should avoid this hotel.
