The Waldorf Astoria, An iconic, Landmark Hotel. This hotel has been in many films, so....I suppose I should be saying wow. My husband and I visited New York in the February of 2005. I was treated to a stay at the WaldorfAstoria. When we entered the hotel, I was.......blown away. The entrance is plush, extravagant yet elegant, with a pianist playing music, for those that wish to sit and enjoy a drink and just take in their surroundings. The reception area again was stunning. That unfortunately is where the glamour of it all stopped, during our 10 day stay, I lost count of how many times their \"systems were down\". Checking in therefore took an age. When we eventually got our key and were directed to our room, the disapointment set in. The room was shabby, the bathroom, although ornate and I am sure impressive in it\'s time, was dirty, the tap didn\'t work and everything was just looking a little tired. The main room area, was very much the same, the windows were dirty, the curtains were worn, the pelmet was slightly torn and all in all, it was not what I had expected / hoped for from the Waldorf Astoria. Luckily, when visiting New York, very little time is spent in the hotel, and we had a fantastic holiday, and the superb location of the hotel was a bonus for the sightseeing as it is so well placed for most of the main attractions. It was just such a shame, that a hotel, with a reputation like this one is being allowed to deteriorate. Obviously all the money is being spent in the communal areas, which will obviously encourage people to stay (it worked with us), however, for us it will not be a hotel of choice for our next trip.
I've never stayed there (which, in view of your experience, sounds like a lucky escape). I did have a drink in the bar once, and was deceived into thinking it was a nice, albeit expensive, place.
