A
8.0 Very good
Pros:Room was clean , bright and comfortable
Cons:The front desk staff could have been more accomadating . Water from faucet was so cloudy it looked like bleach. When another water bottle was requested due to this condition, we were told several times that "there is only one water bottle per room". She finally relented and brought us one more but looked annoyed. Trash bags full of trash remained in hallway near elevators for the two days that we were there. The maid was very nice and was willing to supply us with what we requested on our second day, more coffee and water.
A
3.7 Poor
Pros:I liked the location as I chose it to be close to an interview location I was going to an interview nearby at Columbia University. The bathroom was decent, and clean, but the shower was very low flow and kinda cold. This was not a gold elite status experience.
Cons:The room was very old, dark and the bedding was uncomfortable and stinky. I arrived very late and had an intervuew at 6:30 am so I could not discuss the situation with the hotel immediatly. I woke up at 4 because the smell of the bed was so overwhelming and it felt dirty. There was a party downstairs and I could hear it all in my room.
A
10.0 Wonderful
