This hotel was once amazing but that was in the 90s and it hadn't been renovated since. :(
The prices are high for an upper end hotel in this area and what you get for your money may be the least impressive of anything on its level.
I checked in and requested a room close to the main building and was given what was unquestionably one of the farthest rooms. I called and was then moved to a closer room but I was brought there via many service entrances and nasty back end corridors clearly for staff only.
The room was acceptable but not on par with the price point and level of this hotel. Guests I spoke with however made me think my room with dirty Starbucks cups on the balcony was one of the higher end rooms bc I was told of peeling wallpaper and insect infestation in other rooms.
Basically this hotel earned it's reputation a few decades ago and is still thriving off it bc what it is currently is hardly what one would equate with Waldorf Astoria name.
