Very courteous staff BUT no in room coffee or any other beverage except warm bottles of water from the front desk. Heating system weak and NOISY. Shower weak and slow to warm. No provisions made to make powering portable/mobile devices. Everything barebones though I booked an upgraded/more expensive room. Received a view of heating ducts, not Tully Hall/Lincoln Center. OTOH, the elevators did work quite well.

Room was very small and you had to shut the door to use the bathroom because the door opened to the middle of the toilet. The internet was out for 90% of the workday on Wednesday and we were forced to leave the hotel to find a WiFi connection. Calls to front desk and housekeeping went unanswered. However, the location of the hotel is perfect for catching the subway or easily finding a restaurant.

Staff was very friendly and attentive. Room was very clean. However the air conditioner/ heater did make odd “knocking” noises on and off. Everything was nice but just seemed a little outdated. Rooftop bar was very nice and was the best part. Wish the downstairs bar was open also.

Upon check-in we were offered a free room upgrade that we accepted. At about 2:30 am we were abruptly awoken to pounding at our door with a forceful attempt to break in. After asking who was there, we were told that it was the night management and that we had no reservation for the assigned room and to please open the door. We did not open the door due to fear of not knowing if it was hotel staff or unknowns attempting to break in. After calling down to reception and be putting on hold due to "an issue" we were assured that it was management which prompted us to open the door only to be berated for not doing so sooner. No time during this conversation was there an apology by this person for waking us up in the middle of the night as well as the hotel error at check-in as it appeared that the room upgrade was not processed correctly therefore showing no record of us staying in that room. In fact, night management told us that we should be apologizing to him for not opening the door sooner! This person had no regard to guest etiquette and could have solved the problem much sooner if he did not go on and on of how we were in the wrong (as we did not open the door to strangers). Morning management was much more sympathetic and did credit us for our one-night stay, but what was supposed to be a fun birthday celebration ended up being a sleepless night and a fatigued next day.
