For what it is and where it is, this place deserves 5 stars. 4 years going strong the same bartender and the same breakfast chef have been there. Must be a decent place to work. I've stayed at the Parker in NYC as well as the Plaza. I've stayed in very pricey hotels. I've also elected to stay in places like this, which make my stay worthwhile.
If you don't like your room, ask to be moved. If the decor doesn't suit you, ask to be moved or get real. Does your house look better?
I will never understand the screwball bitch about noise. We have it in every part of our lives. Stop the yelling babies, don't think about getting crap faced and leaving all your innards for someone else to clean up.
Bottom line, from someone who has travelled the world, this place is cool.
