60 Thompson Review

This successful hotel has served as the blueprint for the mini-chain's four other hotels in Manhattan, and its setup has aged well. It's no longer the center of the universe, scene-wise, and that's been a blessing, improving the service and toning down the attitude of hotel staffers. Kittichai, the chic Thai restaurant on the ground floor, has a new chef, patio dining, a gold-suffused bar, and good-looking servers. The rooftop lounge, A60, remains a guests- and members-only warm-weather haven for hipsters. Thom bar, the second-floor lobby, is a dark space filled with contemporary art, great for whiling away an evening. Rooms feature a dramatic, spare design; the generous use of dark woods and full-wall leather headboards give the rooms welcoming warmth.

    I had a group of 10 stay at the hotel for several weeks, so spent tens of thousands of dollars and was treated horribly - upgrades were promised, but not delivered. it was fall but quite warm, but heat was set and couldn't be controlled so was sweltering. the rooms were so small i had to stack 2 suitcases on top of one another....that was an 'upgraded room', next to the elevator. terrible.

    I have stayed in at least 50 hotels in New York, and this was easily the worst. Great location, but small room in need of an update. Worst, no ability to control the temperature, which hovered well above 80 degrees. Useless staff ("my apartment in New York is hot too"). You would be a fool to stay in this dump.

    The facts just the facts:

    One (1) chair; no table of any kind; no bath tub; $650 per night.

    Need I say more?

    A miserable squalid experience. Unbelievably nasty. It gets my vote as being the nastiest hotel in america. Not one redeeming or original feature. If it were a $50 motel it would still receive the thumbs down. But for those eye watering prices it's a royal rip off. Noisy. Dirty. Boxy rooms. Terrible service. Designer death. A complete cliche. The whole experience made me want to vomit.
