Hotels

I really like the floor to ceiling mirrors and the staircases.  The ceilings seem very high and the art deco finishing such as the rococo touches around the banisters, the metal handrails for the stairs and the extremely elaborate and fancy old style elevators plus what looks like a museum quality huge table in the lobby.  All of these things stick out to me, but they are contrasted by terrible lighting.   It appears that they have replaced a lot of their lights with LED bulbs which give off a very harsh white light, not like a soft old world romantic feeling.

Greetings from Mexico City!

I booked my stay at the Valencia on hotels tonight and paid around $68.

My first impression coming into the room was that it looked like what I would imagine a Tokoyo love hotel would look like, not that I would know.

I really did not like this hotel, and I tried to get out of there as soon as possible. Low ceilings and I just don’t like the colors.

My first impressions are that I’m impressed and it is cute and I’m very happy that they have free tea and coffee service all day 🙂 more to come…

I paid $122 total for this room on Dec 5, 2016 ($99 rate on Hotel Tonight plus $23 taxes and fees). It was a large suite-style room, more like an apartment, with a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, washer dryer, etc. I might return. Would rate the experience 6/10.

This is a big hotel! 600+ rooms, right on 57th Street. With the top floor at 17, it is not a very tall hotel. The rooms are dated, but sufficient. And HUGE! Compared to other hotels in NYC, these rooms are very large.

I stayed here for 1 night on Sunday, October 16th, 2016. The room was booked on HotelTonight and I paid $109 for the room plus $21 taxes and fees = total $130.
