1. ridiculous experience, awful service.

"Not an Empire to be proud of... " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/16/2012 Vote

2. Just enough space for 2 double beds but really it was the bathroom that was ridiculous - the door is just shy of touching the toilet, the sink faucet is so low it practically touches the sink basin making it tough to wash your hands, and there is no counter space to put any toiletries, which makes it ridiculously tough to get ready in the morning without risking your belongings falling in the toilet.

3. It was ridiculous.

"Average hotel, annoyingly loud housekeepers in the morning " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/10/2011 Vote

4. Yes, the other reviws are right: the pool is ridiculously small (something like 9x20 feet), two people can't swim at the same time.

"The Empire strikes back? " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/16/2011 Vote

5. The only negatives are the add ons (room was $300 a night, not bad for NYC in this hood) and the ridiculously designed cubby hole of a bathroom.

"Great location, great staff, great roof bar, but teeny tiny rooms. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/4/2011 Vote

6. It was ridiculous-clearly whoever designed the bathroom had never actually used one.

"If location is important stay here, otherwise reconsider " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/10/2011 Vote

7. There was barely any closet space, and the 1 door shower, also referred by other reviewers, is ridiculous to say the least.

"Great value for money, but small room with strange shower " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/7/2011 Vote

8. Location is great, hotel is nice and trendy but service was ridiculous especially the front office.
