Fodor's Review:

The success of this hotel spurred its owners to replicate the hotel's vibe in three new hotels elsewhere in the city. There is much to admire here. It's one of the hippest hotels in New York, offering a range of dining and bar choices. Kittichai, the chic Thai restaurant on the ground floor, has patio dining and a gold-suffused bar. The rooftop lounge A60 is a guests- and members-only warm-weather haven for hipsters. Thom bar, the second-floor lobby is a dark space filled with contemporary art. Rooms feature a dramatic, spare design. The generous use of dark woods and full-wall leather headboards gives the rooms welcoming warmth. Pros: hip, cosmopolitan scene; lots of nightlife options; access to private rooftop club; good gym; some rooms have balconies. Cons: can be sceney; not family oriented; no pets allowed.

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.
