Oh my god, the views of the city from this hotel! Amazing. Loved the sights, the lights, and the room. Spacious, comfy, and stocked with everything you need to survive a few days with teenagers cooped up.
We stayed here in November 2018, when we went to see the thanksgiving day parade (highly recommend), and the room itself was great. As was the breakfast, on the top floor, with excellent views, and a friendly and helpful staff. The food was decent for a hotel buffet, and the omelets were great! Not to mention the awesome bananas foster!
Another selling point, 2 minute walk to the PATH station, which we utilized often, except on parade day when it was delayed due to maintenance. Thank god for Lyft.
However, that is where the greatness ends. The staff were rude. Unhelpful. Lazy. While housekeeping did an ok job with room turnover, the overall was terrible. Called EVERYDAY we were there for extra blanket and towels. Guess how many times they actually showed up? If you said never, good on you! Not once, even with multiple calls! As others have mentioned, only one luggage cart for the WHOLE hotel. Inconvenient.
Upon arrival, you walk into a lobby, where a staff member stands there, looking at you looking lost. Then when you ask, you find out the desk is on the top floor. One person working up there. Waited 45 minutes to check in. This is after a 9 hour drive (darn traffic). You can guess I was less than pleased.
Add in the fact that parking is $35 a day, the benefits start being overwhelmed. While
It was a beautiful room, and great location, I will pay the extra next time to stay in the city, or at least somewhere where the staff seems (or pretends) to care.
