We stayed in this hotel over the Thanksgiving period and found it to be a great place to get our heads down after lots of shopping and sight seeing. You are only a short walk from Macys and the subway is not far, although it is a nice walk up to Times Square. The Hotel has a newish look about it and great restaurant on the side. Also close for a good night out in the meatpacking district.
Ps - also good tv channels to watch while getting ready :)

Stayed here for a short trip to New York. Central location and great rate made it perfect. Reception was very friendly. Room was very clean. Only negative was you had to wait for security to use the elevator, a new access control system is being implemented.

I loved this property. From the decor, to the finishings and furnishings, to the friendly staff and great location, it all came together wonderfully during a last-minute business trip. The property also has a great roof-top lounge and a very decent steakhouse (RARE) on the ground floor, which made late work days a lot less stressful!

I usually stay at the Millennium Hilton at the World Trade Center site, but I have to say that this property offered a much more convenient place to stay - allowing more walking access to neighborhoods, and easier cabs at night (NYC cabs tend to abandon the Financial District late at night!).

Little niceties for Hilton HHonors VIP members included a welcome treat of wine and snacks at check-in and bottled water.

The biggest drawbacks would be the tiny rooms (even for NYC) and the views, which, due to the property's location, unless you were on the highest floors as I was, would be of more buildings, and even the offices next door were "in your face" as the building is set back from the sidewalk. From my room I had an excellent view of the Empire State Building and the Garment District.

When we arrived to the hilton this past weekend in NYC, we thought that the property was going to be awesome since they give you 24 hr room service, and they had great reviews of the hotel. We were surely mistaken when we arrived. First we had to wait until check-in time, totally reasonable since we arrived 1 1/2 hrs early. However, when the check-in time came around we were still unable to check-in someone was still in one of the rooms, and they were still cleaning the other room, mind you at check-in time they are still cleaning when check out is at 12pm and check-in is at 3pm. We said okay fine just let us know when the rooms are available. We were expecting at 6:00 we would be getting a call from the hotels that the rooms were all set and ready to be checked it. To me, this is ridiculous waiting 3 extra hours when they should have already been all set. Next we get to our rooms one of them smells like smoke. It is a non-smoking hotel know we knew why they had to have "extra" time to clean one of the rooms. It smelled pretty gross for someone who doesn't smoke. When we look at the menu to make sure room service was 24hrs, the staff had no idea what we were talking about. We thought it was our mistake looked on the website and it clearly states 24hr room service provided. The only thing nice about this hotel is the resturant next door called Rare. They have pretty good food and good drinks. I would not recommend anyone to go to this hotel even if it was for a weekend like we did. Horrible.
