We guess Libyan dictator Moammar al-Qaddafi doesn't read HotelChatter (thank god), because he sure didn't read our Top Three Recommendations for him during his stay in New York for his...

Nice place
This is a nice hotel for a short stay. It's mostly geared to business travellers, not for a vacation where you want to be pampered. Very goo...

Nice hotel. Comfy rooms. Pricey Internet access! When you pay for a 4 star hotel, why can't they just throw in the web? -
Maybe it's just an off night, but the inattentive bar staff are making this less than enjoyable. -
No wifi in rooms, so you have to sit in the lobby to use your iPad. -
Perhaps the most elegant business hotel in town is particularly admired for its grand lobby and 1,500-sq ft Health Club -
