WARNING****WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES****HORRIBLE SERVICE ***** UNCONTROLLED ROOM TEMPERATURES **** PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT WE MADE!****HORRIBLE SERVICE is the theme at this establishment. I highly suggest seeking accommodations elsewhere due to LOW STANDARDS at The Standard.

We returned from our event to find all room blinds open and the single window opened, which did not help to lower the temp in the room unless the door to your room is left wide open. I went back downstairs & spoke with a man at the front desk (3rd trip for requested assistance) & he informed me that it was my fault that the room had gotten so hot b/c I had left the blinds open all day. Keep in mind that we had checked in just late that afternoon. He also informed me that they do not give out fans to guests & I was left with no assistance whatsoever.
We could hardly sleep in our $700 a night room that was in the low 80's, so we did not get any sleep over the two nights of our stay & the room did not actually cool off to a comfortable temp until 6am of Sunday morning, when we had to leave. However, we both slept the entire air flight home, since we had been unable to sleep while staying at The (LOW) STANDARD.
I did speak w/a manager finally after many attempts and he expressed his apologies for the horrible experience & offered a 25% discount off of our stay and a refund for the horrible service received at The Living Room (we saw our server 1 time over 62 minutes). MY SUGGESTION, seek better accommodations at lower prices (I found 7 better priced places w/more room within 6 blocks) elsewhere. This place should be called THE LOW STANDARD, since it is NOT WORTH LOSING SLEEP OVER. If you like to sleep and value your recuperation time during your stay in New York, you will absolutely need to find an alternative place to stay. THIS WAS THE WORST HOTEL STAY OF OUR LIVES. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT WE DID.
