Hospitality Leadership - American Style
Advantages: It's a good hotel
Disadvantages: But not as good, or as unusual, as it likes to think
...is to be found in the bedrooms of the Statler Hotel at Cornell University, inviting guests to tick boxes about their stay. Predictably enough, the management of the hotel want to know if the experience has exceeded your expectations. Let me admit that, perhaps pedantically, I am irritated by the cliché of "exceeding expectations", and doubt its value as a measure of satisfaction. Say you'd been expecting a ghastly stay and it had proved no worse ...
...well-equipped and efficient, and for the most part it was all those things, despite a few minor shortfalls. Beyond those typically American merits, though, we were intrigued to discover whether it could deliver something a little more imaginative and out of the ordinary. There were reasons for hoping that it might. The Statler Hotel and J Willard Marriott Executive Education Center, to give it its full name, is run as part of the Cornell School of ...

Well located radisson at a good price
Advantages: well located polite service
Disadvantages: overpriced food
...week for 5 days, The Radisson Lexington. BOOKING I booked our stay through hotels.co.uk and was paid upfront which sometimes can make it more difficult on arrival, but no problems here. We got the 5 days for a rate of 490 pounds over the easter break which we felt was really good. We had previously held a room on the website and waited for a cheaper rate to appear on the other sites as they are always cheaper. CENTRAL LOCATION The hotel is exceptionally ...
...a nice affluent neighborhood which is around the corner from the Waldorf Astoria on Park Ave and the Palace. A short block walk or two brings you to the Rockerfeller Centre home to NBC and radio city music hall. Quite amazing how close it all is. We easily walked to Timesquare most days as well, and it was about a 5 dollar cab ride in light traffic. We had a view of the Chrysler building from our hotel and enjoyed the views of the city. There was ...

Disadvantages: on a busy road
...those looking for a true New York experience).
The positioning of the hotel was great as well, easily within walking distance to a lot of the attractions (although the doormen will hail you a cab no trouble at all).
If your going to New York for a weekend and need a central base that is friendly and reasonably priced then I would recommend checking the marriott out. ...

Relaxing in the Urban Jungle
Advantages: location, breakfast available, free wine in the evenings
Disadvantages: noise, can be expensive at some times of year
...friendly without being overly familiar. Our room was cleaned every day by the time we returned and the doorstaff were always on hand to help flag a taxi.
So was it worth it? Absolutely. We'd go back to the Giraffe in a flash - it's a great little hotel. ...

Not worth the 4 stars rating
Advantages: Great location, better than a days inn.....
Disadvantages: Not MUCH better than a days inn....... not very clean, so-so service.....
...spent 6 nights at the city club hotel of new york city this summer. I looked at pictures of the hotel and other reviews and I made my choice: Booked it in advance. Well, this was supposed to be a 4 stars hotel but it wasn't worth it. The room were nice and service people were always smiling, but you get that in a Days inn. You don't get more than that. We had loads of luggage and nobody helped us with them. they could barely hold the door opened ...
...Algonquin's personnel than from the city club's, even when I told them I was a customer of their next door competitors..... Location of the hotel: GREAT! You are right in the middle of midtown, where most of the great new york things are. Grand central, Times Square, 5th avenue, St-Patrick cathedral, empire state building, chrysler building, Rockefeller center, all within 5 to 20 minutes to reach on foot. Easy access to subway and loads of restaurants ...
