"Great hotel"Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009Value:
3We booked a twin room at The Roosevelt Hotel for a week. When we arrived, we got our room, a little dark, due to the style of the room, but the room was large (about 18 square meters) cosy, and with two queen sized beds. The room was clean and was cleaned every day, with new towels, bed sheets etc. Only complaint about the room was the noisy aircondition, which could not be turned off. The bathroom had a good size and even with a bath tub.
The staff at the hotels was extremely helpsome, with tips about the city and where to go shopping. The lobby was amazing, unfortunately to dark for pictures.
We tried the resturant, excelent service, but a bit pricy, two persons, 200 dollars for entrees, desert and a bottle of wine. The food was excelent, except for the desert (why wasn't I warned about root beer and vanilla ice), which was our own fault.
The bar was great, with a large selection of single malt whiskey, drinks, beers. The prices were a bit higher than avarage.
The location of the hotel is excelent, in walking distance to Grand Central Station, Empire State Building, Central Park and the UN building.
It is close to the Metlife building, which we used as a guidence, to find our way to the hotel.
When we checked out, the bell boy took care of our luggage (for free, except tips) and when we departed for the airport, we used the hotel car for JFK. (60 dollars)
IWe would stay at the roosevelt again and recommend it to anyone.
