NY NYC The Kitano Empire State Building

[BGarcia]

Stayed at The Kitano which is in the Empire State Building area. I would recommend it.

Things I like:

-Service was pretty good. Doorman held our bags for us since we were early for check-in. Room service was prompt when we needed some sugar and lemons for our tea. Also, housekeeping was prompt when we needed an iron delivered to our room.

-Bathroom was pretty big, had marble tiles, and towel warmers.

-Close to Grand Central Station (only a few blocks). This helped us take the 42nd Street Time Square Shuttle.

-Very quiet rooms.

-Big soft beds & pillows

-NY Times at door

-Complimentary robe, slippers, umbrella, etc

What I didn't like:

-Room was tiny

-No mini-fridge

-No iron, had to call in for one

-Had Fiji water but was charging $5 to drink it.

-Only had basic cable TV

We take the ferry from Hoboken 14th street, then take a taxi from pier 9 to the hotel only cost about $8-9 . Overall good experience, nothing fancy, but we were out most of the day so it met our needs.
