My 8yr old and I came to NYC for a mini vacay. I'd totally do it again, but I would absolutely find someplace else to stay. Here's why:
-Lobby closes at midnight. Hopefully your flight won't be delayed (like ours) and you won't be forced to spend $50 on a taxi just to get there on time (like I had to)
-Airport shuttle leaves every hour from the hotel. It's a 10min drive; it should be offered more frequently
-Can't decide if you want to take a shower or a bath? No worries! You get both at the same time! The shower backed up every time it was used.
-NO microwaves are in the room. Why offer a place to keep things cold if you don't offer a way to heat them back up?
-Mirror in the room was broken. The most minor complaint I had because it doesn't affect me much, but I'm afraid I'm going to get charged for something I didn't do.
-Room certainly was not soundproof. Glad my kiddo was asleep so I didn't have to explain the sounds coming from next door. "They're watching a movie" would not have explained anything.
-TV got next to zero channels, and all of the ones it actually did, cut in and out. I couldn't even get through a 30sec news story without missing half of it.
-Breakfast was okay, but I was expecting way more. Everything was very low stocked, and I had to ask almost every day for a yogurt for my kid's medication. There was a place for fresh fruit, but no fruit. Nothing like danish, bagels, or muffins; only bread for toast. I noticed other families brought their own OJ.
