2. we stayed here for 1 week in september,check in policy of only accepting a credit card is annoying,they took $100 dollars a night in case of room charges (of which we never do anyway) its our 5th time in NEW YORK,location is good,room was awful (408) it was dark with no daylight (lights had to be on permanently ) view was of a brick wall on that side of the hotel,bathroom was clean but tiny,hotel was nice but facilities are limited,coffee was available in reception for 2 hours in the morning (should be all day ) staff were nice and helpful, park avenue hotel ( nice but in my opinion a little overrated) .
