Very disappointing stay.
There was no hot water in the shower, the heating system blew cold air on my bed until I set the thermostat to 78 degrees and the bedside light switches didn’t work, making setting the entry door panel to “off” for the whole room the only way to turn off the bedside lights. At check-out, no one asked how my stay was, and when I informed the staff of my concerns, I was told a manager would be in touch. Never happened.
This is NOT how a luxury hotel in NY is supposed to act. As attractive as this property may have been in its day, it’s hardly on par with the ratings of its supposed peers in Manhattan. The resort fee is a joke - they don’t even pretend there’s a benefit, just an extra fee for nothing, to disguise the actual room rate.
