East Side Holidays from £1,168

The breakfast bar was very clean and the variety of good was great!

The A/C was pretty poor, and could easily be upgraded. The elevator is filthy, but that's not terribly important to me. The most important suggestion I have? Please put decals on the tub bottom, or provide an in-tub bathmat. It's really slippery, and there are no grab-bars/handles inside the tub/shower. If only for your own protection, i.e. getting sued for a slip-and-fall, I think it would be in everyone's best interests to take care of that. A woman named Miracle, who was on duty at check-in, was wonderful. She's a great employee! The bed was pretty nice, the sheets were clean and crisp, which was much appreciated. The provision of a toothbrush/paste, mouthwash, razor, shampoo, soap and lotion were great. Thank you. The doors slam loudly if left to shut on their own (as opposed to the exiting guest or housekeeper shutting them), and I was woken up NUMEROUS times, for several hours before my alarm went off. I don't know how you could possibly address that, but it was very annoying. I realize this is a budget hotel, and I tried to keep that in mind when commenting above. Thanks for reading this. Again, the potential for a slip-and-fall in the tub is HIGH, and that's the most important feedback I have.

Staff were super friendly and approachable. Make sure you book their rooftop patio restaurant- the view is spectacular

Liked situation!

The Pierre is historic, located directly East of Central Park, and seemingly maintains a five star rating for precisely those attributes. The attractively priced suites are all interior facing on dimly lit lower floors. Don't expect to be upgraded for sunlight and a view without paying double. Also, room rates with 'breakfast included' have a restaurant credit, not a hotel credit. Ordering from the in-room breakfast menu simply to take advantage of my 'perk' resulted in hundreds of dollars in disputable charges. My membership in Taj's loyalty program resulted in zero benefits, which is a bit surprising as the company only operates two properties in North America.
