1. Only downside is not sure anything else will live up to our fabulous apartment if we have the opportunity to visit again.

2. The one downside is the bathroom was a little small, but the shower pressure was great and the complimentary bath products were high quality.

3. The downside of this hotel is not having a restaurant, although there is a lot and of restaurants close by it would have been great to have that option.

4. The downside was that our thermostat control wasn't working and the room was very warm (~80F).

"Good find for midtown, with a few glitches " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/9/2011 Vote

5. Great location, super nice front desk staff, upgrade was reasonable (+$60/night got us a 1 bdrm suite with a king bed), very well appointed; downside was the kitchen - very no frills and badly in need of being updated to fit the rest of the suite.

6. It's a great staging area for a family, with the gym, concierge, and public WiFi there, but that's also the noisy downside.

7. Only downside was only 1 bathroom when there were 6 sharing.

"A good base for the larger family " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/13/2011 Vote

8. The only downside - and I would point out this is not the fault of the hotel - is that the club next door to the hotel can get a little rowdy with people standing outside chatting/smoking etc.

9. The only very minor downside to the kitchen and I stress MINOR, were the metal cabinets that looked a little too industrial and office furniture like.

10. Okay, here is the only downside we found.
