Gansevoort Meatpacking

Die Lage ist top - in unserem Lieblingsviertel im Meatpacking District. Morgens kann man sich prima einen Bagel im Chelsea Market holen und auf der Highline frühstücken. Klasse war bei 35c auch der Pool auf dem Dach (auch, wenn die Sitzplätze am Labor Day alle vergeben waren...). Die Zimmer sind ok, nicht mehr (muss wirklich ein Duschvorhanh sein).

Schlechter Service , zum Teil beim Ansprechen des Personals unfreundliche und patzige Reaktionen . Zimmer waren sauber und groß und das

Wunderbar

Hotel is in a great area. Room was ready when I checked in in the morning. Two pluses. Now the rest of the story...air conditioner was leaking on the carpet in the room and the entire room smelled of mold and mildew. Front desk was only mildly interested in the issue. Rooftop bar charged twice as much for a bottle of champagne than the same bottle ordered from room service (or any other restaurant in the city...). The per glass charge made ordering such an extortionist bottle of champagne ridiculous - but no bottle prices posted and waitress said nothing. Outrageous. Again, hotel not interested in hearing complaint and had no reason for such price differential other than “well, it is the rooftop”. Insane and preposterous attitude. Finally, service in the street-side cafe on a non-busy Sunday morning was horribly slow. Other than the location, the hotel is not worth the price or the attitude.

Clean room, comfortable bed, polite and efficient service. My room was on the small side and not particularly well laid out, which would become a bummer on a longer stay, but fine for a night or two. The decor is insane, so if a wall-sized mural of a Helmut Newtonesque image from an early 80's cologne ad looming next to your bed isn't your jam, you may want to look elsewhere.
