Partner Reviews: Hotel Chandler
Sub par
I stayed there with my mother and maid of honor the night before my wedding. We booked and confirmed non smoking roooms, and when we checked in, the bridal room was booked as smoking. My moh and I left that evening for the rehearsul dinner downtown. The doormen were too busy chatting and watching us to assist us with the doors, nor did they assist us with cabs. We ordered breakfast the night before, and when it never showed up in the morning, they told us that they only had one person in the kitchen. 10 extra minutes turned into 40. Then they charged us $60 for breakfast! Our neighbor was an agitated man yelling at 2 am at his "wife". He had to be asked by the front desk to quiet down. Simply put, we spent nearly $500 for tiny, dark rooms, with poorly managed staff/service.
Outstanding!
I found the hotel Le Marquis outstanding! Exceptionally planned out to provide a elegant, not decadent haven after a busy day in the city. The down comforter and linens, and thick comfortable robe made all the difference. There is a great little bar off the lobby that really caters to their guests. When in New York, this is the only place we will stay!
New York's Secret!
Just returned from NY after staying the weekend at the beautiful Le Marquis. What a great place! I was pleasantly impressed by the glorious decor, the friendly, accommodating staff, and the spacious, well kept rooms. It was a pleasure to stay at Le Marquis, and it will be my choice to return here next time I visit the great city!
Fab-ola
So I'm an hotel snob and really I can't say anything bad about Le Marquis - it's sexy, shining and I liked it better than some other places in NYC cos it didn't seem like they were trying to be too hip. Everything I needed or wanted I got and the bed (and bedding) is so comfortable - wonder if they sell them. I've now stayed half a dozen times and it's always consistent.
