Bad stay

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 19, 2024
Worst Hilton experience I've ever had. I was lied to (twice) about the location of the garage, and front desk staff was unsympathetic and unhelpful. Staff is really unfriendly and there were multiple room intrusions despite a do not disturb sign. Room was not clean at check-in. Broken equipment in the room. One elevator broken (so the wait was around 20-30 minutes).

They just do not care at this location. Spend a little more $ and go somewhere better and you'll be grateful.

Notable only for downtown location. Otherwise skip it. Two tiny, slow elevators for a 40 story building meant interminable waits. The HVAC didn’t work in our room, nor did the TV remote. Our shoebox sized room wasn’t particularly clean. Other than that, it was fine.

The hotel is steps away from Wall St and Broadway but there are better hotels in the area for the same or less money. The hotel is overall quite tired including the rooms. There is sometimes a queue for the lifts which can be quite frustrating. Plenty of bars in the immediate vicinity, so the lack of bar doesn’t really matter. I chose my room on the 34th floor and it was quite quiet, so slept well. Gunshots at 2am outside one morning didn’t even wake me up 😉

The Room was very small compared to the other Double Trees I stayed at.

Everyday the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor and the toilet was always clogged no matter what.

Otherwise, the hotel was very close to the metro subway and there are many restaurants around the area. I would stay again if we didn’t have a clogged toilet and leaking shower to deal with everyday.

Excellent service (I especially would like to lift up Ari at the front desk, who was super helpful), great location, spacious room (for Manhattan standard), and reasonably priced. The only complaint I had was that they could add one more elevator, as the waiting time was a bit too long during the busy hours.

Room tip: The desk drawer is actually a mini fridge.

A cosy, clean room in a good location. However the connecting restaurant was very poor indeed. $58 for a poorly cooked fillet steak; the staff were not concerned in finding out why the steak was not up to scratch and were more interesting in still receiving their tip. This put a dampener on an otherwise brilliant trip.
