Friedensdorf Vacations

staff

Good area

We had a fantastic stay, the location was perfect. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and the room was made up everyday with fresh towels. Breakfast was amazing and plentiful but it did get busy so get there as early as possible. Short walk to Train station and very close to tube. Just beware of yellow cabs from airport. We knew it was a standard price into the city and that you could pay by card. Our driver asked for cash which we genuinely didn’t have a great deal of. He kept pestering us saying he wouldn’t get paid for two weeks. He said we were rich and could afford it. When I finally said no sternly he started driving erratically dodging in and out of traffic at speed muttering in a foreign language under his breath. Do not be intimidated by this. Just say no. I must say that was the only negative experience we had.

This used to be our favorite place to stay. This time we took some friends for their first time and I was very disappointed. Our room never cooled down so we never slept well. The vents in the bathroom had zero flow so the bathroom was always scorching. For 2 days we had zero body wash and conditioner. They only had 2 towels for a double room. Several of the electrical outlets did not work. We were never comfortable in the room.

Great hotel in the very best zone of Manhattan. The staff was so kind and hepful. To note: Not VIP recognized and didnt offer any benefit.
