Location review insights for New York, United States

**This is solely my opinion from my personal experience**. My wife and I had a very unsatisfactory stay at this hotel during my birthday weekend. We found the building infested with roaches and some kind of rat, which was disturbing. My vehicle was also damaged at the Hilton-recommended valet parking garage, incurring a significant repair cost, despite us having paid the parking fees to Hilton. I won't get into the details. The hotel management did not assist, and we never received an apology for the experience. I cannot recommend this particular Hilton-branded hotel. If you're looking for a safe place to stay when you visit NYC, I would not recommend this hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel management did not show accountability or take care of their customers (which is not typical of a Hilton).

- small NYC type rooms but expected in this area. - the beds are shorter than normal. Anyone over 5’10” will have their feet hang over the bed. Such a weird thing to have short beds. - bathrooms are small and sinks are useless. The ergonomics in the bathroom are terrible with a pocket door for privacy. If you’re going to poop, there’s little privacy. - elevators are terrible. 3 small elevators for entire building means 10-15 min waits to get anywhere. - staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a heating issue where and they resolved it quickly.

1. Early Check-in Unavailable 2. Heating Issues The heater kept shutting off. When they repaired it, it only worked for half a day before shutting off again. I asked to switch rooms, but they refused. They promised to replace the heater, but it was just talk. In the end, they gave us a portable heater. We had to endure the New York cold in December with that. 3. Cleaning Issues I practically begged them to clean the room. When I mentioned it at the front desk, they said the manager wasn't responding and gave me the manager's email. I ended up contacting the manager directly, but the room still wasn't cleaned when I came back. Because they didn't clean, the bathroom started to smell musty. In the middle of winter, fruit flies were coming up from the drain. The shower booth was so dusty, I didn't even want to look at it. With no heating and no cleaning, I got increasingly frustrated. When my companion expressed our dissatisfaction via email, they finally cleaned the room on the 4th day. We had cleaning only once during our 7-night stay. This seems like a problem. The hotel needs to change its process. The cleaning fee wasn't free, it was $100. Fortunately (or unfortunately), they admitted their fault and cleaned it for free. It's closing the barn door after the horse has bolted, haha. 4. Sleeping with Mice We sometimes ordered delivery. Because they didn't clean, we left leftover food in bags on the table. One night, I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of the faucet creaking. I instinctively felt it might be a mouse, but I fell back asleep. About two nights later, as we were talking in the evening, a plump mouse came out from the table area and disappeared into that problem heater!!!!! I had heard that New York has a lot of mice, but I never imagined I'd be sharing my room with one. I never want to experience that again...

We enjoy celebrity chef restaurants, and a trip to the Big Apple with a free day inspired us to add another Tom Colicchio location. The name of the place is a bit confusing--the main restaurant is Temple Court, but they only serve dinner. We wanted lunch, and that's served at the associated Bar Room at the Beekman. But the menus and the receipts still say Temple Court. I don't see the rationale for different names. That said, we were seated for our reservation and, in the cold est day of winter so far, found the place uncomfortably chilly. It's located IN the Beekman Hotel, in a three-story Baroque revival room that's gorgeous but that suffers from inadequate HVAC. In particular, the arctic blast when both doors were open was oppressive. I've like to inspire the Beekman to install those overhead heat blowers that supermarkets have at their entrances.It also struck me that the decor was a little quirky as they'd hung several antique black-and-white photos that had been sparkles up with old applications of glitter. The music IN the background ranged from classic mainstream jazz to more modern stuff. I wonder if it's intentional, to reflect Chef Colicchio's style of putting contemporary twists on the classics? OK, those were the negatives. Everything else was super. We started NY sharing a crispy goat cheese appetizer. The mild goat cheese (chevre, I think), breaded and deep fried, lent little flavor but served as a base for more unctuous toppings--anchovy, Nicoise olives, caramelized onion, red pepper, wilted greens. The level of excellence I've always found at the four Colicchio restaurants I've enjoyed previously. NY entree was smoked duck. It was shredded and served in a bun--and the smoky flavor was profound. But even better, the plate had a salad or grilled greens (Romaine and maybe escarole?) dressed with a simple vinaigrette, and it was such perfection in its simplicity. My wife enjoyed her roast chicken salad and well. Colicchio's bartenders are always great at a craft cocktail. I got the Emily Roebling, a Rye cocktail similar to a Manhattan, and it was peppery and intense. I followed with their John J. Fitz Gerald, a bourbon cocktail that intrigued me since the foam no top was half white, and half brown, and I finally figured out to sip from the border to get both. So I went back to Emily for my third. NY wife went more traditional with a Cosmopolitan and then a great Sauvignon Blanc. Service was, as expected, professional. If they can resolve the HVAC issues, they'll approach perfection.

1 Hotel Central Park is a very sweet boutique hotel. The rooms are exceptionally tiny but after a few nights, I came to really appreciate how cozy my room was and it felt like a little nook of peace in a city of chaos. The window seat in the room was especially awesome - I wish I could have spent more time just sitting and reading. The beds are very firm and comfy and the ceiling shower was awesome. Everything felt very condensed because of the small size of the room, so every square inch of space was used to the fullest. I was in the room on my own but if I had to share it with someone else, I'm not sure how we would have navigated the space. My biggest issue with this hotel is that it kind of feels like an old hotel with small rooms that someone dressed up in nice sustainability clothing. I liked the sustainability clothing, but not for the price they charge- it is a really expensive hotel for what you actually get. In the area, I've stayed in other 4 star hotels with larger rooms (but no sustainability ethos) for half the price. I would definitely stay at the 1 Hotel again if it were less expensive.

1. Built in 1924 on the waterfront of Mumbai, one can feel a vibe once you are there. It is a symbol of Mumbai enduring spirit and cosmopolitan character. 2. It is 85 feet (26 meters) tall with a central dome that is 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter. 3. It is must for anyone who is visiting Mumbai. One should go in evening to enjoy both the sunset and 2 different view of Taj and Gateway of India. 4. You can enjoy street food and visit elephant caves by streamer. 5. Parking can be a challenge and they charge a hefty amount for parking.

Added 26 Mar. 2026, after I'd waited a month for a reply to a complaint I submitted, which I did not receive: I'm sad to see that, like so many other once-quality businesses, Eataly seems to have become a victim of its own success: the more locations they open, the worse service becomes at the older locations, as if loyal customers were being taken for granted. On my last visit there, I was ignored for some 10 mins at the espresso counter, until a v nice young lady came by, apologised for the wait, and took my order -- apparently more than the three+ coworkers of hers who simply passed by without saying a word could be bothered or expected to do. That was the highlight of my visit, the rest of which was spent (or wasted) trying to pay for a few other items and waiting for someone to void out one of them (again, assistants were too busy chit-chatting and goofing around to even notice me waiting). Never going there again! *************************************************************************** Good variety, and service was courteous today -- which has often not been the case. Other downsides: a lot of items are overpriced, and some categories of merchandise are hard to find (no signs).

We went to dinner late on a Friday night based on a friend’s recommendation and I made the rookie mistake of not making a reservation. Despite what looked like many open tables in the reserved section, our party of four was instead seated in a crowded area at a table for two. Not ideal but we dealt with it. Our server was awesome and the food we got was delicious. Highly recommend the short rib porter pie, the chicken pot pie, fish and chips, and lobster mac and cheese. We ordered some appetizers, but they showed up after our main courses, so there literally wasn’t anywhere to put the food, and we sent them back. Overall, I’d go back, but I would definitely make a reservation.
