We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Refinery. They've maintained aspects of the old millinery, which we loved. The staff were enthusiastic and helpful, the food was good, and the hotel decor is just perfect. The area is not the greatest, but there are subway stops within walking difference.

As a first time visitor to New York I didn't know quite what to expect, but this hotel didn't disappoint. The staff are always cheerful and helpful and the the rooms are stylish and comfortable. The ground floor bar/ lounge isn't huge, but nice for the occasional drink with jazz music often playing. We had most of our evening meals in the restaurant Parker and Quinn which was very good. The Refinery Roof Top bar is always very busy and we did use it on a couple of occasions, but book ahead if you want a seated area outside. The view of the Empire State Building is great.
Our rooms had comfortable beds and were changed every day if you wanted. Overall an excellent hotel with character.

Nice hotel, very friend reception staff, can be noisey, and unfortunately doors slam very loud.
I found dining very expensive, having breakfast was 9.00 extra for delivery and gratuities ,
Music great in main floor bar, lovely male singer .
