Environment around the hotel

In the surrounding area, there are many people and cars passing during the day, but there are less people in the evening. There were many convenience stores, cafes and supermarkets so finding a place to eat was not a problem. As cars are stopped at both ends of the road, the roads are narrow and difficult to drive, so it may be difficult for taxis to enter because the surrounding roads are crowded. It is within walking distance from many tourist destinations.

Staff and customer base

The staffs at the front desk were very kind and had nice smiles. Unfortunately, the concierge who brought me the toothbrush was very unfriendly. The check-in process went smoothly, and when I asked about breakfast, they explained carefully, and also introduced cheaper cafes around than the hotel.

Access

From the airport, it costs $95 for about a 40 minute drive on Uber. There were few people walking outside at night and shops were dark and closed, so it’s a bit scary to walk alone. The nearest subway is about 3 minutes on foot, and the famous Chelsea Market is a 15-minute walk away. Also, the Empire State Building is a 10-minute walk away. It is faster to walk and ride the train than to take a taxi.

Summary

It was a nice hotel for New York. However, for a Hilton brand, it was disappointing that the room size, lighting, and amenities were a bit unsatisfying. The corridors of the room floor was narrow and sometimes I could hear voices coming from the other rooms. I was not bothered by the sounds outside at night, but I could sometimes hear the sound of car horns and traffic. Also, sometimes it took a while fro the heater to warm the room up, so I was a little cold. Although there were some issues, the hotel is in a convenient location for sightseeing and for business, and it is an affordable hotel for a four star hotel which was very nice.
