To begin with, the room, which was 2 double beds, was very, very, very small. No microwave available, and EVERYTHING had a fee. I had to pay for coffee if in the room if I wanted any. I had to pay to 'use the microwave' in the dining area!! Who does that? Breakfast was not free for anything. Even water had a charge of $3.00 per bottle. I was miserable honestly, and the staff did not even flinch when I asked about the coffee. They appeared as if it was normal to CHARGE FOR COFFEE! I checked out a day early and they did not even ask if my stay was good. It was basically, just give the room card back, and then goodbye. Never, ever would I advise anyone to stay there while in New York. Doubletree no longer will be on my list of referrals. If I had the contact information for the head honcho of Doubletree, or the New York Times, I would post comments. It was that bad.
