1. slow check-in.

2. Negatives : we were lucky to be upgraded but other colleagues' rooms were very small - one couldn't open her case without putting it on the bed; free Internet connection is incredibly slow - if you want fast you have to pay; several times we couldn't log on as 'there are too many people already connected' - ridiculous for a conference hotel; one printer in the 'Business Centre' didn't work; alcohol in the diner was ridiculously expensive, even for New York; our waiter in the diner on three separate occasions was inattentive and more interested in chatting to his friends or on his mobile phone than getting our food; the shower was impossible to control - ran either very hot or very cold.

3. The tiny bathroom also was clean, warm water was plenty, the fixtures ancient, slow warm-water drip.

4. fab room we payed the extra charge of $10 per night for a room with a view of the empire state building the room we stayed in was 3112 , the beds were super comfy, the room was gorgeous well decorated and very clean, the bathroom was large and also very clean, we had 3 large windows in our room, with views of the empire state building, madisson square gardens and also the hudson river could be seen in the distance, if i had to be really picky and moan about anything it would have to be the shower in our bathroom, which ran quite slow and was either freezing cold or boiling hot, but we got by once we got it set to a temp .

5. The free internet tended to be a little slow but we decided against the upgrade to premium internet for around $10 per day.

6. Definitely not for families, Maybe for a business person, the wireless was also very slow but at least for free.

7. I would think the hotel gets complaints daily about this and they would install devices to make the door close slowly.

8. I returned one afternoon with a lady checking the sink in the bathroom after a report by the cleaning staff of slow drainage; so they do try to get things right without the guest complaining (actually I didn't think that the water drained particularly slowly).

9. On the other hand, there is Internet (admittedly rather slow for the 'free' option) and a large flat-screen television.
