Let's start with the positives - this hotel is in a fantastic location, across the road from Central Park and in the lovely Upper West Side, also in walking distance to Harlem. The bathroom was nice, and most of the staff were friendly, especially Carlos the doorman!
On the down side - the windows are extremely poor quality, meaning that our street-facing room was both noisy and cold. Also, the lift broke while we were there and getting suitcases up and down the narrow stairs was almost impossible. With the amount of money they must rake in, they should really invest some of it in upgrading the hotel.
In addition, when we arrived we were told no double rooms were available, even though that was what we had booked, so we had to go in a twin room and change rooms the next day. No compensation in any form was given for this. On the whole, disappointing.
