Used to be something special
Like all many great places Hotel Gansevoort has become tired...and overrun with trendy wannabees. It used to be that you could stay here and quietly sit by the pool with euro business folk, a few Japanese tourists, and maybe a celeb. Now the rooftop looks like a scene from MTv's Jersey Shore...I am not exaggerating...there is serious Jersey Shore testerone and Long Island accents (yea, Jersey and LI accents are equal in my ear). The rooms are showing wear and the staff service - while trying to be white glove - has just become a little bit slack.
Lame.
