Most comfortable bed in the world
Pros:

It was the most comfortable of beds Ive ever slept in. So much so we took a photo of the label and are going to buy the same mattress for home.
The hotel, staff and location were perfect.

Cons:

The price. I think it was three times the price it should have been. I know New York is expensive but this hotel really is for the very very rich where money is no object. For us it was a once in a life time treat but actually not worth the money which could have been spent in so many better ways.

Disappointing
Cons:

While the room was nice the hotel/common areas are very tired. The hotel is dark and lacks atmosphere. The photos of its heyday only emphasise how far it has fallen. We were going to have a late drink in the bar in the way back from dinner but there was not a single customer in the bar and the place was uninviting. None of this is consistent with a landmark luxury hotel which is what they are charging and we are paying for.

Pros:

Clean and Luxurious! My room was wonderful and clean, boasted a half view of Central Park. Housekeeping was fantastic and the general amenities were lovely. Room service was delicious.

The staff was so kind! I don’t typically stay at hotels of this calibre but they certainly know how to do luxury and treat its patients. They even have elevator attendants!

Cons:

No dislikes

Great location, and a nice amount of space in suites.
Pros:

The suites were beautifully renovated and very comfortable Staff is amazing.

Cons:

Corridors need updating. Carpeting looks worn and tired and even smells in some areas. Breakfast is very overpriced.

The Pierre, old world elegance
Pros:

Our stay here was out-standing. Extremely efficient and friendly service. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a suite, which was enormous by New York standards. The room was immaculate and opulently appointed. The house keeping was absolutely next level. The suite and the hotel itself felt very old world grandiose, in the best possible way. The elevator operators are a great touch. We would absolutely stay here again.
