There were many positive aspects to my stay with my partner at the Standard Highline. First, they have a top notch cleaning staff that was extremely friendly. Additionally, we were both impressed by our modern room "pod" laden with chic furniture and positioned perfectly toward the Downtown NYC skyline. The opportunity to get a workout with a view on the 17th floor was also a great plus. However, our stay was not without a few issues. Overcrowding on the elevators was a frustration. And, for at a premium price, A MODERN HOTEL should not upcharge for hi speed wifi. The wifi was slower than free wifi at Starbucks. Their response to our request for improved wifi was cavalier. The attempt to upcharge guests for wifi, water, and coffee in their room is a poor business practice. An improvement in service could make this hotel go from good to great.
