We stayed here for 4 days from 7/18. Honestly we were nervous about staying here after reading some of the reviews leading up to our stay. We stayed in a one bedroom suite which was a bit roomier than just a one bedroom. Now don't get me wrong, the room/suite was basic but not so much that we weren't comfortable. It could also use some updating but again, we were comfortable. The room was clean and neat, however we always use our disinfecting wipes to go over the bathroom, phone and countertops anyway, but it was just fine. The bathroom was kind of small and narrow, but it was quite adequate. In our bathroom there was actually a shower stall with jet showers from the sides as well as overhead, and then there was a tub with a shower - quite nice. We read somewhere that the beds were lumpy and uncomfortable. In our room the bed was really very comfortable, when we got back home my husband said he misses the bed at the hotel and we have an expensive bed. Our teenager slept on the sofabed (glad we bought sheets for that as it had a few stains on it) and she said it was very comfortable. Our sheets and towels were changed everyday and our room neatened up. Now there was a kind of massage chair that was in the room which we didn't use, that was definitely old and could be thrown out - it was a bit of an eyesore.

The other thing that needs to go is the fabric type of headboard, along with the fabric covering the wall that houses the tv in the bedroom. Anything that is fabric like that, in my opinion can be a breeding ground for bugs and moisture, plus it looks old and there were some stains on it.

All the staff from the folks who graceiously clean the rooms to the front desk staff and doormen were so friendly and professional - we were very pleased.

Quite honestly for the location of this hotel, one block from Central Park I don't think one could ask for anything more. After all when you're on vacation in NY, you hardly spend much time in your room. My family and I would highly recommend this hotel at least from our experience in our room and would definitely stay here again. In fact I would love to stay in the same room. Thank you to all the staff at The Shoreham Hotel for making our stay a very pleasant one. Ms Andrene McColough and your staff; I called a few times because I was worried about the hotel and room. You were all so patient and very accurate in your description of your property - thanks again!!
