 | |  |  | Sheraton New York Hotel And Towers: Fantastic location
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
We have just returned from a 3 night stay in the Sheraton Towers, we were not disappointed at all, the room was quite small, but clean and very comfortable, this is what I would expect from a major city hotel.
The big plus is the location of this hotel, you are close to absolutely every major attraction, we only used the underground once, and walked everywhere. If you are thinking about booking this hotel, then have no hesitation, go ahead and book.
We didn't use any of the hotel facilities, as there were so many places close by to eat. I would totally reccomend the Irish pub just a short walk up the road as you come out of the hotels main entrance and the Oyster Bar which is facing the Irish pub does a tremendous meal, I had the mussels then the sea bass and I could not fault it. Breakfast is great at a place which is open 24 hours, it is on the opposite corner of the hotel, so diagonally across, sorry cannot remember the name of it, but it was great, and quiet early morning, so this meant you could eat quickly and be on your way for the day.
We did a helicopter flight for 7 mins down the Hudson, this was a great way to see Manhattan, and you get really close to the statue of liberty.
We also went up the Empire State at dusk, which was great and less queues, but we purchased our tickets on line which also save some time, as you miss the ticket queue out. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than average

| | | | Sheraton New York Hotel And Towers: Cramped, narrow room in dingy colors, contentious
| | | | |
The Sheraton was THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTING! The supposedly "recently redecorated" room and corridor sported a monocolor, gravy-yellow paint job, an ill-fitting bathroom counter, and drafty windows that could not be adjusted. The first room I got had broken controls for the temperature, and the desk clerk was indignant and obviously disgusted by my coming back back and asking nicely for a different room. The rooms are extraordinarily cramped and jarringly narrow, such that the TV was placed on an angle on a side dresser in order to fit at all (crowding out access to the cheezy coffee service) and from that weird angle it nicely reflected the bedside lamp into the middle of the screen, spoiling the picture. The "desk" was merely a ledge next to the window, also embedding the heating unit! The desk lamp was positioned to shine directly on the face on my computer, and Internet access was $15/day -- this is $5 more than many other hotels with delusions of high style, and $15 more than many hotels that nowadays provide Internet at no extra charge. But while I was catching up on work at my "shelf", at least I had a wonderful view of the formless office building and steaming hotel service plant looming over me. IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE "SHERATON" NAME OVER THE DOOR, THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS DUMP WOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY HONEST JUDGES OF HOTEL QUALITY.
