1. During our stay we were shocked at how rude and unhelpful the reception staff were.

"Very Rude Front Desk Staff " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/1/2012 Vote

2. The biggest shock was that the rooms do not have safes and you have to use safety deposit boxes in reception for valuables so this meant daily treks down to reception in the morning to wait in line to get access to your stuff while also carrying round a box key for your holiday.

3. When I looked it my backpack, I was shocked to see it missing.

4. 2 closets, 2 dressers, and most shocking, a view of the Hudson through several generous windows.

5. This is a weird place in that the first 13 floors are actually student accomodation, so if you get out on the wrong floor when you arrive as we did, the shock knocks you back.

7. My husband and I stayed here from 3rd to 7th March and found it to be over-all quite good apart from the shock of being asked for a $300 (returnable) security deposit, as it's not mentioned on their website nor on the website through which the holiday was booked- 'Travelcube'.

"Beware of the $300 security deposit not mentioned when booking. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/30/2011 Vote

8. We got to our room, and I will say i was a little shocked.

"Great Hotel, Fantastic Location..... " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/10/2011 Vote

9. The springs on the bed also gave me electric shocks every time I rolled over in bed and I wasn't able to sleep well.

10. I got to my room and turned the light on and got a huge electric shock - it actually made sparks fly.
