Funcionarios excelentes, boa locacalização. os quartos deixam a desejar.
Pros:

Achei que os quartos precisam de uma grande reforma. Trata-se de uma hotel 5 estrelas, mas os quartos são velhos, sem requinte. As toalhas de banho sao ruins. Os corredores nao tem uma cheiro agradavel. A equipde de funicionários excelente, educada e solicita.

Cons:

Os quartos, velhos e toalhas ruins

Pros:

God frokost, og fint at man har mulighet til å velge vekk buffet og velge annen mat mot at man får fratrekk på 54 USD. Beliggenheten til hotellet var supert, midt i blinken og lett å komme seg til Metro eller om man vil gå til fots

Estadia excelente!
Pros:

Camas boas e confortáveis, quarto grande e muito bom, banheiro ótimo, localização fantástica com silêncio, apesar de ser na Times Square, café da manhã simples, porém muito caprichado e gostoso, que vai até tarde

Cons:

Alguns funcionários não foram gentis, como o que entregou nossa compra da Amazon, que jogou as mercadorias no chão do quarto ao abrirmos a porta
