Staff is incredible! But that is were there luxury ends. From what I am told though this hotel room, the deluxe double "queen" was very big for new York. The toilet moved when you sat down though. The rooftop bar is very nice and I'm sure it's even better in the summer. The pillows... I cannot get over how bad the blankets and pillows are. The person I stayed with was surprised by the mini fridge, apparently that is not common in most NY hotel rooms. There is no coffee machine but the Starbucks is literally right there. I'm giving three stars because it was neither great nor terrible. Except the staff, the staff was excellent!
