2nd time at this hotel, sorry ...but that was the last one
Last year (2011), we went at this hotel. A that time, we did have a good time. Of course, I totally agree with people: free parking, outdoor swimming pool, small fridge in the room,10-15 minutes walk distance from Times Square and the same for the USS Intrepid. So this year, when I made my reservation, I know exactly what to expect. I know, that rooms are just OK, that elevators (only 2) for the back part of the hotel (level 4 to 6) are slow and more than tiny, and when you have finally succeeded to put your luggage cart in it, you can barely get in it. I did also know, that bathroom in rooms are tiny also. I know, that for the price (about $200 per night in peak season, including the interior parking), you have to compromise on something. This year, I found that mattresses were unconfortable and make a lot of noise when we rolls over (by the way, my wife and I are really far from overweight). I also did notice on our arrival, that this year, they place huge rat traps (about 6) in their ourdoor gardens (3rd floor) adjacent to the swimming pool. But on our last night we discover 2 small rat traps under our beds (I've got pictures to prove it). We've got a hard time to sleep that night, and were really happy to know that, that was our last night. Next morning, I mentionned that to the clerk, when I was checking out. She just told me, that "it's in case of...and that is just as a measure of protection".
