First impressions of the hotel was that it was lovely, clean and well presented. Unfortunately, their poorly managed processes and some staff truly let down the standard of the hotel meaning that we won't be back here. Bellhop services lost our bags due to poorly managed luggage storage systems. We were also mistakenly told 3 times our bags were at our room. Reception staff were initially helpful but then others including the manager weren't helpful when trying to resolve and action a resort fee reversal. The initial resort fee transaction was voided due to a hotel processing issue, but was informed that this would not be released which could be 30 days. This is a common issue if you look at trip advisor so please book with caution and bare this in mind if booking. Breakfast was okay. A bit manic at times but the staff were well aware and had an okay process to support this. We are due to return to NYC as a family of 8 but wont be returning here due to the many issues experienced being such a source of frustration and disappointment.
