 | |  |  | Hilton New York: The Hilton Comfort
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
We liked Hilton. It is not our utmost favorite hotel, but as far as chain hotel goes, it stays pretty close to the top of our preferred list. All Hilton hotels are pretty much the same, meaning they are not very charming, but they are courteous, effective, and they don't often make mistakes. This includes Hilton New York.
The last time we stayed at Hilton New York was during a Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was miserable, the city was crowded, and all hotels were filled to the brim. There were several Thanksgiving Parade participating groups that stayed at Hilton, many of them were young people and none of them was easy to deal with. Because of the bad weather, storage rooms were required to store extra gears for the groups. Because of the bad weather, changing rooms needed to stay open all day instead of an hour before and an hour after the parade. Because of the bad weather, hotel personnel had to be ready to take care of the minutest order from individual guests as well as parade participants. In addition, the convention of scientists who stayed there also had many last minute changes. Over the great confusion, the staffs were calm, cool, and collected. They might not be as pleasant as they could under normal circumstance, but they saw to it that everyone's need was taken care of. Maybe it's the New Yorkers trait or maybe just in the Hilton training, the staffs dealt with every crisis with aplomb.
That's why we liked Hilton, especially Hilton New York. Leave a Comment

Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
After the Milford Plaza, Helmsley Park Lane and Park Central we decided to stay in the Hilton New York. We were very positive after reading some reviews on the internet. So we were happy with our choice. We’ve stayed in the Hilton New York from may 1st till may 8th.
The hotel is located at West 53rd Street and Avenue of the Americas. It is a large hotel with many guests, but with the enormous lobby it never looked crowded. There’s a special check-in for HHonors Gold members. It’s located across the main reception. It was nice that we didn’t have to wait at the check–in desk.
The room:
We didn’t have a renovated room, but it didn’t bother us. The beds and pillows where very comfortable; beautiful white linens, it was all so clean. The room was quite large, not bad at all for New York. The view was not spectacular. Only on the higher floors you’ll have Central Park views.
Breakfast:
Because we’re HHonors Gold members our breakfast was complimentary. We had breakfast every morning in New York Marketplace. We could choose from the cold buffet. If we wanted the full American Breakfast Buffet we had to pay extra. For us the continental breakfast was enough. There was plenty of choice of pastries, Ciabatta bread, different kinds of cheese, ham, fresh fruit, coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. During the week it wasn’t crowdie in the restaurant.
Overall:
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect! The premiere of Mission Impossible did take place in a movie theater called the Ziegfeld Theatre next door. The red carpet was already strolling out, people were waiting. The view from our hotel on the red carpet was perfect (see picture). We decided to go back to our room to wait for a few hours. I never saw Tom Cruise, because I fell asleep (thanks heavenly beds!)………..aaahh!! When I woke up he was already gone!
The only negative thing was that I found this hotel very expensive. Maybe it was a wrong time of year, because it wasn’t only expensive in the Hilton but also in other hotels like Park Central. Leave a Comment

I was there right before the Republican National Convention so the streets were deserted. The accomadations at the Hilton were very nice and comfortable.
I would recommend staying here because it is in a good location in Manhattan.

| | | | Hilton New York: A disappointment
| | | | |
The New York Hilton was a bit disappointing. I have stayed at Hilton hotels before, in Bali and Vancouver and although these two hotels were very different, they were both excellent. The New York Hilton is not.
I know that hotel accommodation in New York City is very expensive, but after paying 305 USD a night (which was a special conference rate), I had expected better service and a more stream lined experience than the one I got.
The location is ideal for almost any visitor to New York. On the corner of 53rd Street and Avenue of the Americas, it is a short walk away from Broadway, Times Square, Central Park, MoMA, 5th Avenue shopping and more.
The hotel employees were all helpful and accommodating. Service could still be hard to come by: We were waiting in line to check in, to check out, and to get into the dining room… And the bleeping elevators were always busy.
First of all, I was shocked to find that after paying 305 USD including tax a night, breakfast was not included. After waiting in line to get into the dining room for breakfast, I found out that the continental breakfast was USD 26 and the American breakfast USD 29. The dining room itself was like a hangar – huge and noisy. So we had breakfast around the corner.
I attended a conference at the Hilton and lunch was included. There was a choice between 5 different kinds of sandwiches, served in a cardboard box with a bag of chips and a cookie. The sandwiches were good and healthy, but the cardboard box was dreary.
