Damned by faint praise
Before you read any more of my review, please do not think I have rated the Warwick as "Average" in a bad way. It was a great base for our trip, being located on 6th Ave (hence only 1 block from 5th avenue shopping and 2 blocks from Broadway and all the shows). There are lots (and I do mean LOTS!) of choices to eat nearby - we chose not to eat in the hotel for any meals as we wanted the opportunity to sample New York properly.
As for the hotel itself, it was comfortable, although the heating took some getting used to. The room (2608) was a decent size, although the view was restricted - but, for me, part of the experience of New York was being amongst the skyscrapers. The bathroom was small (think Travellodge) but adequate. The beds were VERY comfortable and the TV gave you access to more than you will possibly want, although we hardly watched anything (too much to see & do).
On a negative note, the decor was a bit "tired" and could do with a revamp, but it was clean and housekeeping looked after us well enough. There were no coffee-making facilities in the room but a coffee maker was provided on request with no fuss.
Generally, staff were pleasant and helpful, although in truth the only request we made of them was to get us a cab to the airport when it came trime to leave
We tried the bar on our first day and were rewarded with a pleasant environment & pleasant staff
All in all, I would stay here again and would recommend it, as it makes an excellent base to explore Manhattan
Maybe "Average" is a little too harsh after all
