“Just okay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I just left there yesterday, Sun Feb 5th so this report is accurate, I am currently staying at a different hotel because of the terrible noise, this hotel is located at a very busy intersection. I was on the 6th floor facing the street and believe me the traffic noise is horrible, the honking of horns is incessant day and night and the sound of trucks, cars and motorbikes will drive you crazy, there is construction going on all around this hotel so you will not get peace and quiet anywhere, they are building a Sonesta Hotel next door. One review said the pool view is inspiring...Huh! were we at the same hotel?...the pool view rooms face a huge ugly wall that is part of the construction and the pool is tiny, I never saw anyone in it during the 3 days I stayed at this hotel. The work out room is tiny and terrible, no towels and very limited equipment. I read other reviews, first of all breakfast is not free, it is $17 for buffet or $9 for continental style unless you get it included in your price of the room. The breakfast buffet is mediocre at best. The service was quite good and the people that work there are very friendly. The rooms are decent and clean. This hotel is cheaper than most in the area, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Room Tip: Choose a room away from the street on any level otherwise be prepared for a sleepless night and 4am...

A booked a package and wasn't sure about the hotel I got, got to the airport and my transportation wasn't there so I took a cab, worst mistake I could have done, the taxi drivers are crazy It is something NY wise but without the steess and streets they have, got to the hotel and thought this is as old as me, reception a great service, bellmen the best, I even met the lady who made my reservation, they have really big rooms, clean, a pool view that is inspiring, I'd love to come back on my next trip

“nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

the hotel is nice but the staff needs more training to treat better the guests. a comfortable room but a small swimming pool with lots of shadows.

“Bad Experience All Around”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

We stayed here on Dec 1, 2011 for one night. I had booked the two rooms through Expedia. The clerk at the desk was rude, and unfriendly. The check in took 45 minutes with no one in front of me, she only spoke to me to demand my Passport and my Credit Card.

When we got to our assigned rooms they were both already occupied. This took another 20 minutes to correct and only with the help of the Bell Boy. Who was the only positive in this experience.

After getting two more rooms our key cards didn't work, another trip to the desk clerk by this time it was obvious she doesn't like tourists. When we finally got into our rooms there was no bedding on the beds. The poor Bell Boy was extremely embarrassed and called for maid service for us.

We arrived at the Hotel at approximately 7:30 and we were finally able to get into our rooms at 9:35.

Never again.

Room Tip: Ensure the rooms are not occupied.
