David Jones Review of Novotel NY Times Square Hotel
Stunning views from the table we had. Times Square...
Stunning views from the table we had. Times Square is amazing at night and where the restaurant is situated, it really is a perfect way to eat and drink.
Ok, time for the negative points,
The food: I had a burger as if you are in New York what else is there to have. It really was not nice at all. There were two really thick tomato slices in between the bun and the burger. This made everything wet and slimly. The more I ate the wetter it got and basically washed all the taste away.
The service: At the start of the meal we had good service and the staff were friendly and polite. The main problem was after we paid for the meal and gave a tip.
I was amazed and disappointed when the waiter came back and asked for a bigger tip. The reasons he has given were that he only works for tips, the view he provided and the wonderful service. The waiter really was in my face so to prevent spoiling the evening as I was with my wife and son I gave in and give him some more money. The meal had cost us $180 so with the tips cost well over $200. Hours
I had been in New York for a week before this happened, so I aware of the tips in the Big Apple but the strength of the confrontation in such a high standard hotel did surprise me.
I would not go back again
