DoubleTree by Hilton Metropolitan - New York City Hotel

Good Overall - police and fire are on 51st so lots of sirens

This hotel was lovely, not a fault to be made with it. Upon arrival, however, the front desk was quite rude when discussing payment and how much it would cost me as it still needed to be paid. We were given our room number and I cannot for the life of me remember the number but we were on the second floor and were put next to the gym changing rooms which resulting in 24-hour music being played continuously. We complained about this and were moved the following day and they also moved our luggage when we were out. The next room we had was again lovely, not great views of the city but it was all we needed to get out of this hotel. The hotel is in such a great location. just a 15-20 minute walk from Times Square which we visited every day/night as we could. This was fine for us as we preferred to be away from the busyness of that area. It is also walk-able to get to attractions like the empire state building which took us roughly 35 minutes or so. There are coffee shops and shops around the hotel so you can bring things back to the room. The only downside was that there were no tea/coffee facilities which resulted in paying 5 dollars a coffee. Breakfast was roughly 20 dollars each a day if I remember rightly so we just walked to Applebee's when we wanted breakfast. If you are wanting to buy Broadway tickets I would advise you go to Times Square and purchase them because the hotel was going to charge 150 dollars each for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when the Broadway ticket store was charging 80 dollars. Overall, great hotel, lovely room, amazing location if you are willing to walk!
