Small But OK

The positive aspects: Good Location. Cleanliness. Doorman attentive.
The negative aspects. Wi-fi didn't work in lobby or hotel room for most of our stay. The room was small and looked out over an alley. Front desk wouldn't give me my Hilton points because of the booking code. All in all, I wouldn't go back there.
Bad experience at Doubletree Metropolitan

I had a horrible experience at the Doubletree Metropolitan. DON'T STAY THERE. The service is not good and the room are not that clean. The amount of dust in the airconditioning vents was ridiculous.
First time traveler to New York City

Took a whirlwind trip to New York City for the first time. Hotel is located in a great location, close to many sight seeing attractions, but far enough away to be out of the crowds. Subway station was right at the corner for very easy access. Times Square, St. Patricks Cathedral, Central Park all within walking distance. Nice little eatery right next door and the best warm chocolate chip cookies when you check in. The room and bathroom were a little small for three adults, but for two nights it was okay. The beds were very comfortable and the tv was a nice flatscreen. The only complaint about the room was the temperature. The air did not work very well and the room was very warm and stuffy. We opened the window, didn't help much for the bed away from the window. Staff at the front desk during check in seemed a little frazzled. It was crowded and seemed to have too many bosses behind the main desk and not enough worker bees. Overall we had a good experience. Would probably try another hotel if I visited again, but would recommend and stay again. The bellman out front, was very friendly, professional, as well as entertaining as we waited for our airport shuttle. You could tell he likes his job and is good at it.

We enjoyed our stay. The location was super close to everything that any tourist may want to see. We got on and off the subway with no problem, we rode the bus and walked to Central Park and Times Square. The beds were comfortable and the staff was always there to help. Next door is a nice cafe and all around the block their are places to eat if you choice to stay close. The area is well lite and the NYC police is always looking out for the safety of it's New York tourist. My only gripe would be the mildew smell in the bathroom but I guess that's part of the New York problem with mold. We would definitely stay here again.
Doubletree Manhattan

I chose this hotel because of its 4* rating, and its affiliation with Hilton. However, this is no 4* hotel. The wallpaper was peeling both in the bathroom and bedroom, the bathtub caulk was loose and mildewed. When someone sat at the desk n you had to go over the bed to pass by. The bed was comfortable enough, but a bit saggy. The hall carpet was worn and dirty. The price included breakfast, which was fine, and a little unusual in NY. All in all, I would find another place for the next trip.
