The bare bones of the building looked cool, but basic things were terrible (by that I mean “basically everything”). For example, there were typewriters in the lobby, but half the keys didn’t work or got stuck, and the ink tape was dry. The coffee bar was open from like 7:00-7:05 AM. The stair situation was some kind of labyrinth. The elevator was dark AF and slower than your grandma’s 5k time. No shampoo in the bathroom. Booked a room for two and there was only one bath robe. The plug in the bathtub was either stuck down or detached completely. The mattress was fine, but the pillows were excessively squishy (like your dad). The rug under the bed had holes in it. Pretty sure the paint chips around the windows had lead in them and the owner ate them.
Pros: The “front desk” staff (who stood at a built-in book shelf in the lobby) were friendly, the bicycles we used functioned appropriately, the toilets flushed well, the complementary water bottles you had to specifically ask for worked as expected. There were sharpened pencils in the room. The location was deece.
Cons: basically everything except the bro at the front built-in book shelf with the iPad. The gym situation - you gotta ask for the gym post card, then get over to the Chelsea Piers Fitness place (if you don’t get the giant post card with a QR code the fitness center will give you a hard time). You could just sign up for a free first month at Equinox and it would be nicer and closer.
Overall not worth the $$$$.
