Says A touch more class and a bit more service than many
of the other moderately-priced Theater District hotels, the
President Hotel is another recently-renovated entry on the Manhattan
scene. We think this is one of the nicer hotel facelifts we've seen
-- this is not a trendy Euro-style hotel, but traditional New York,
updated with plenty of marble in the lobby and very comfortable,
mid-scale hotel furnishings in the rooms. As usual, rooms and baths
and even corridors are smaller than their suburban cousins.
Surprisingly quiet for the location the rooms also spic and span
spotless. Decor in standard  rooms
is the usual uninspiring "hotel modern." The one surprise
I had was when I went to sit on a bed to tie my shoe and sunk down
much further than expected. Some might consider it comfy, I like my
mattresses a bit firmer. Penthouse suites have had a complete
facelift and are for want of better words done in
"retro-modern" with a very light and airy palette (Though
I wouldn't recommend staying in a suite here. We like it for the
sometimes good rates and great location, not for spending a few
hundred bucks a night for a suite).
We've heard and read a few comments
about the level of service being a bit spotty. We've never
encountered that when we've stopped by but, as much of the staff are
not professionally trained hoteliers, we wouldn't be much surprised.
If you happen to get a good rate you might want to overlook some New
York attitude and just take advantage of the hotel's location, it's
strongest selling point
No Broadway theater is
more than about a seven-minute walk from the hotel, making it
perfect for folks in town for a weekend of musicals and drama or the
traveler that wants to combine business and pleasure. Times Square
is about as close as can be without being in it. The President
is convenient to all sights and attractions in Midtown; on a
pleasant day you can walk south to the Empire State
Building or north to Central Park, with Herald Square shopping,
Rockefeller Center, St Patrick's Cathedral and the Museum of Modern
Art in between. And it's less than a 20-block walk uptown on
Broadway to Lincoln Center. Nearby subway and bus will quickly take you to all
other areas of the city
