Underwhelming Stay Near Central Park

old elevators missing amenities
The elevators are quite old. Portable air conditioners were plugged into them. That was sitting right on the floor. It felt out of place for a hotel charging so much, but the location was really good! The room lacked basic amenities. There was no complimentary water or coffee maker. I found a half-empty bottle of lotion in the bathroom too. We found it weird.

Underwhelming Stay. Issues Need Addressing

minimum spend cigarette smoke
The bar had a strange policy. Guests faced a minimum spend of $50? The front desk acknowledged the policy but offered no solution. the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Staff claimed they had aired it out. That clearly did not work.
