The staff is amazing, courteous, professional and accommodating. The rooms need an update and some general maintenance. The ceiling in the shower is peeling, the wood unit where the TV sits is worn, severely scratched and needs attention. The carpet in the rooms is dirty, old and smelly.

The staff is amazing, courteous, professional and accommodating. The rooms need an update and some general maintenance. The ceiling in the shower is peeling, the wood unit where the TV sits is worn, severely scratched and needs attention. The carpet in the rooms is dirty, old and smelly. The mattress if you sit on the edge you can feel a plastic edge which is hard. Also, would suggest looking at a sitting configuration whereby there are two chairs rather than one velvet fabric chair which is dirty and old. Lastly, could use a suitcase stand…A 4 star property can do better Read less

The hotel itself was wonderful. The room was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. There could have been more information on the hotel website regarding parking. We included the daily parking fee in our reservation and parked near the hotel in an Edison parking garage which also housed rental car pickup and drop off. We were unaware until we were held up in line in the garage that it is valet parking only. When we went to pick up our car the next day there was nobody in the pick up area office to answer a question. Read less

I stayed here for a night in May 2024. The hotel is very well situated both for the myriad companies but also of course all that New York can offer. The Whitney is only 20 minutes away via the High Line to give you an example. The hotel room was excellent with a fantastic view, and the bed comfortable and offering a great night sleep.

I stayed here for a night in May 2024. The hotel is very well situated both for the myriad companies but also of course all that New York can offer. The Whitney is only 20 minutes away via the High Line to give you an example. The hotel room was excellent with a fantastic view, and the bed comfortable and offering a great night sleep. The shower pressure was perfect and of course I enjoyed the excellent slippers. My only comment would be the breakfast. I was surprised that there was little mention of a la carte options. In fact I don’t think it was ever mentioned. Special mention of the wonderful staff at the ambassador check in - efficient and friendly and a credit to the brand. Read less

My wife and I visited NYC for our anniversary. We decided to stay at the Intercontinental because we have good experiences in the past. However, this experience far exceeded our expectations. The staff at the hotel were amazing. Charles, Benny, Vladimir, David were individuals who went above and beyond for us everyday throughout our stay at the hotel. They were amazing and truly supported all of our needs and more. There were others as well, but those individuals went so far above and beyond for us, we don’t want to stay with any other hotel brand anymore and are looking forward to staying at this location again in the near future.

Excellent service and amenities— and a view to die for from the 31st floor. There was a mix-up that caused our reservation to be cancelled by Expedia without our knowledge, but the manager (Eduardo) quickly smoothed things out and even gave us an upgraded room, We’ll definitely be back!
