Hotels near Albany Distributing, New York

Location is the greatest advantage of this hotel. Less than 1 min by walk from Yellow R & W Subway Whitehall South Station Exit. This hotel has 40+ floors, but 3 guest lifts only. Long waiting time for lift was annoying. The air-conditioning unit was noisy, as it started on/off intermittently all the time. The shower room is tiny, it was just enough room for an adult to turn around the body. The design of shower room glass door was poor, as the bathroom floor would get wet when open the glass door.

It is the first time that we find a hotel room where the TV is bigger than the closet. Perhaps the hotel's policy is to set up the rooms differently depending on the season: large TV and small wardrobe during the warm season and small TV and large wardrobe during the winter season? Amazing! Considering that the space in the closet is only 23 inches (60cm) the suitcases cannot be emptied and must find a place around the bed in order to be opened. The positive consequence is that moving around the room helps to learn the Sirtaki dance steps: 4 steps on the side and two steps forward. The size of the bathroom is inconsistent with that of the room. The bathroom, in fact, is surprisingly large. The drains, on the other hand, are consistent with the narrowness of the room, in fact as soon as we arrived in the room we found the drains clogged (promptly purged by the hotel's ”specialist technician”). The air conditioning, turned on by default, reminds us of a subway station: the same movement of air and above all the same noise when the subway cars arrive. The same ”specialised technician” then intervened to activate the futuristic air conditioning control unit where, by going through labyrinthine menus, submenus and sub-submenus, in the end he was able to access the on/off disclaimer. Unfortunately the instruction manual for this control unit is not available in the room consequently we have replaced that bizarre electronic panel with that archaic tool called ”window” where with a marvelous handle one is able to change the air in the room. The operation of this tool is friendly enough that it does not need an instruction manual. The room is also equipped with a large screen through which at night you can watch the silhouette puppet show. The screen is the dividing wall between the bedroom and the bathroom built in opaque glass. It is enough to go to the bathroom and turn on the light, whoever is on the bed can enjoy the exhibition, free of charge. The restaurant is quite good and the prices are ok.

Was able to check in early which was great after a long flight from uk. Room had everything we needed included toiletries, hairdryer, safe, fridge and coffee machine. Also had a clothes steamer although was unsure how to use this. Bathroom was lovely and bed was comfy. Room had a/c .Hotel was a short walk from the subway and lots of eateries by the hotel. Deli’s and restaurants. Walking distance to the water(pier 11, 17 and Staten Island ferry). We were also able to leave luggage after check out. This was securely stored using a ticket system. There was no charge for this. Room deposit refunded same day as check out. We loved our stay.

To begin with, I must stress that we only used our room, and spoke to staff on the reception area. I’ve no idea on the quality of the rooftop bar nor restaurant at the hotel. Location: We booked knowing that this was in the Financial district, but I was elated with the location. We got the air-train & subway from JFK and the hotel is just a few blocks from Fulton Street Subway station. I am a quick walker, and found that the World Trade Center was only 5 minutes from the hotel, the same with Wall Street / the waterfront which was a great location to me. There were plenty of shops / restaurants / etc. in the area (where doesn’t have that in NYC?). There was construction work taking place across the street from the hotel entrance, but never any issues with traffic or noise. Reception / Staff: We arrived in the evening on a Wednesday and the staff on reception were really welcoming as we were checking in. They were taking the time to say hello to returning guests as they came through the lobby. We experienced this ourselves whenever we returned to the hotel. It may be a small thing, but it showed good customer service to me. Room: A lot of rooms in NYC are “small” when compared to counterparts in other cities so I never expect masses of space. I was happy with the size of our room when we arrived. We were on the 21st floor, and our room was on the corner overlooking the front of the building and the construction site across the street. There was small walkway between the door to the room and the bedroom. 2 of us stayed there with 2 cases and we found enough room to move around. The bed was comfortable, everything in the room worked. We had a coffee machine and bottled water given to us for drinking. The bathroom had a shower & toiletries, and it was clear everything was clean. When I'm back in NYC, I'd happily stay here again!

The room offered a lovely view of the One World Trade Center, and its location is conveniently close to subway stations. However, the room could benefit from some updates, as it seemed a bit old and outdated.

The facilities are much better than those of the Brooklyn Marriott. The night view is also good. The breakfast provided is also good. It is a must for Marriott members to earn points. It is also convenient to go to major attractions in New York. I recommend it to everyone.

We chose the hotel for the second time this year, and it did not disappoint. We received the same attentiveness and carefree rest as the first time. Maintenance and renovation also took place in the time between the two occasions, which I can confirm, as we requested and received the same room both times, which we were pleased with. We almost came home, we felt at home. The staff is wonderful, conscientious, self-sacrificing. They are extremely attentive, we asked for and received a refrigerator and microwave. We love its location, its surroundings are calm, safe and spacious. Shopping and transportation options are easy to solve, with Hudson Jersey in the background it's beautiful. Thank you for letting us spend Christmas with you, we already want to go back! Grateful thanks!

This hotel was in a great location for things like exploring the Chelsea neighbourhood and visiting the Moma art gallery! I really liked the vibe as there was a terrace outside that always had people sitting chatting, dining and having a low key good time. There were also lots of nice restaurants in the area! The room was lovely too!

Having arrived last night to be told our 4bed room wasn’t available (as the hotel was overbooked) and we’d have to have single rooms which we accepted as we had no choice, we’ve come in tonight to be told we have to move to the room we originally had. And how we should have been told last night! Even our keys didn’t work when we tried to get in to the rooms to move out. An apology for the miscommunication was made but it’s just not good enough- whilst moving out we’ve even had house keeping knocking to see if we’ve moved yet. This really isn’t good enough - had we known last night it wouldn’t have been a problem but the way it’s been done is appalling we’ve been made to feel like it’s somehow our fault and problem. No details of the general manager (as I’d have rather had that conversation prior to a review) as the one from previous posts has clearly left! Should anyone from luxurban want to contact please do. Our opinion of the hotel has been really positive up to now, things can only get better!!

I felt very small when I first entered the room, but it was strange. The experience was getting better and better. The room was really small, but the details were very good. The system is also more advanced than most hotels in the United States, and the air-conditioning panel has strong feedback, but the only thing I feel a little regret is that even in the premium room, the bed is only Queen size. But intimately, the sofa next to it can be adjusted into a single sofa bed. Location Needless to say, Fifth Avenue and Bryant Park are convenient for going to Manhattan. The hotel is new and the staff at the front desk looks superb. Ask a question, the number of hotel rooms should be large, breakfast needs to be lined up, the elevator needs to wait for a while, and the hotel facilities need to be improved. If you are very concerned about the size of the room, you don't need to choose this hotel. The 32 square meters mentioned by Ctrip does not exist at all. There is no introduction of square meters on their own website. I don't know where Ctrip's 32 square meters come from, which is false information. Summary: small, exquisite, new, good location; Ctrip and Ctrip's agents are very unreliable! !! !!
