1. With internet access in the business centre and ice machines on several of the floors, there's not much more needed.

2. The front desk staff would not help in changing the rate, but did let us cancel which enabled us to quickly re-book on the internet for the cheaper rate.

3. 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.

"Some great bits - if only the staff knew about customer service. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/4/2012 Vote

4. The rooms are small but clean and with free low speed internet (premium costs $9 per day) and an excellent diner attached for 24 hour dining.

5. There is a business centre with three PC's with chargeable internet access although logging in to airline websites to check in was free as was printing your boarding passes.

"Great Hotel in a Central Location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/23/2012 Vote

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

"Home base for a dream vacation " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/1/2012 Vote

7. The smallness of the room wasn't a factor most of the time, but the absence of a second chair meant that one of us had to sit on the bed while watching television (rare) or using the hotel's free internet.

8. Wireless internet was hellishly expensive and the Tic Toc Diner's food was disgustingly bad, although the staff were very attentive and pleasant and I feel really bad that I just could not stomach the food, but to be fair, living to Melbourne Australia, I 'm using to excellent food, so I am fussy.

"Not really bad, just average " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/30/2012 Vote

9. The rooms are small but clean and modern (I had a renovated room - the bathroom was still a bit older but still clean) and there was free internet.

10. He also pointed us to the internet service downstairs for which there was a charge and I strongly objected to given it was a five min job.
