"I understand the big city is more expensive. But, having to literally pay for everything at a hotel gets under my skin a little bit. And if they are to charge for everything - why stadium prices for a beer or two to the room: $19 USD! I cannot deny the absolute beauty and glamour of the hotel though as well as its impeccable cleanliness. Sky Bar (the outside bar on the 57th floor is a must do - you must make a reservation, days in advance if you can. The outside seating I got was with a four day advanced reservation - it turned out to be a beautiful lunar-eclipsed night also! I definitely recommend staying here at least once for that pampered feeling and phenomenal views of the city."
