Hilton New York

I picked this hotel for a vacation stay after asking a co-worker. I've been to NYC many times before, but my usual spot was under construction. I have Hilton status, so I was given a King room (non-suite). It was a good size room, especially for NY standards. We had plenty of space to move around and keep our bags. The bed was also very comfortable. It's a really convenient location, especially if you have plans to go to Times Square, a Broadway show or Central Park. I don't use many hotel amenities, so I can't really speak to them. The lobby was large, but it needs to be, because the hotel is BUSY. Some people have complained about the elevator wait, but I didn't experience that. I didn't have to wait long, no matter the time, and my stay included weekdays and weekend. The staff was very friendly on the occasions I interacted with them. I did have a billing issue, which they resolved very professionally. Overall, I think it's a very good choice. My only negative would be the numerous offers I received to get a time share presentation. Salesmen are stationed in multiple spots on the ground floor to "catch you".

This hotel is lovely and very well located and that's reflected in the price. It's expensive and although the rooms are modern and comfortable, there are no extras in the way of dressing gowns, bottled water or tea and coffee making facilities. However, the desk staff (especially Nati and Sanjay) couldn't have been kinder or more helpful and they were worth the price,
