New York City

We had the best service, Eddie, front desk, was amazing and up-graded us when we arrived. We had drinks in the Library Bar and the gentleman was so nice, we had a great conversation with him. The restauarant again had great staff and awesome food. The only snotty girls were working on the Terrace Bar & they never acknoledged or served us. We didn't care, the rest of our stay was phenomenal!!! We only left the hotel to walk around the neighborhood, but did all of our relaxing on the deck, eating and drinking in the restaurant, bars & lounges in the hotel. It is definitely a place you don't have to leave to find fun!

the rooms are tiny, and everyone who knows anything about the Hudson knows this. but it doesn't matter unless you're in NYC to watch TV in your room and look out the window (and don't go for the TV, which is about 10" and in a cupboard). what does matter if you stay here is that you like to hang out in the hotel bars, because the Hudson turns into a roiling party after 9ish. there are many places to drink in the hotel (four bars), and they are all packed (although, the terrace on the 15th floor was oddly quiet and empty). the lobby is pitch black after dark, and music leaks loudly out of the main bar, where a velvet rope leads a long line of people. we saw famous people walking around the entire time and sat next to another in the library bar all night (and if you want to hang out in there, reserve a couch via the front desk; the library is very popular and seating is limited). it's that kind of place, and it's cool for that. the hotel is right on Columbis Circle, which is nice for shopping and Central Park, and subways headed up- and downtown are right there. all in all, a fun hotel and an interesting place to stay.
