Le Méridien New York, Central Park

This property does not live up to Marriott standards. I stayed in room 1308. The phone and safe did not work. The bathroom sink clogged. You could barely call the shower water hot. The furniture looked worn. The whole property needs to be updated. The lack of room service is an issue. Marriott has been know for giving you a good breakfast. However from running out of bacon to tiny plates, the whole experience was poor. Next time I’ll pay the up-charge and stay at the Thompson (the old Parker Méridien).

My best friend and I just checked out of the Le Meridien and only have glowing reviews! The rooms and amenities were amazing and location is unmatched. It was central but not too loud or touristy. The staff was also friendly and high accommodating - shout out to Eddie, Sean and Raphael! If you’re looking for an amazing place to stay in Manhattan this is it!

I travel frequently and stay almost exclusively at Marriott properties (Platinum member, 50+nights/year). This property did not live up to its Premium brand expectation. We were in a suite, room 2704. -Furniture very worn down. -Only USB outlets on one side of the bed, not the other. Power outlet being the built in nightstand impossible to get to. -Useless power outlets in random places of the room. -TVs did not work. -Bedroom window had huge cracks and a hole (fortunately on the outer pane). -Bathroom sinks did not have stoppers - I was so afraid of dropping an earring or ring down the drain. -Commode had a vent that made a loud wind-tunnel sound CONSTANTLY. We had to close both bathroom doors when sleeping but still barely muffled the sound. -Hotel room door did not close all the way - had to make sure to push/pull it closed evert time. Big safety issue. -This is a little thing -- but why is the closet in the "living room" area and not the bedroom? -As of January 2023 there is construction happening outside the hotel. During the day there was constant loud noise. Not ideal if you need to take calls business calls from your room or want to sleep in in the morning. What was nice about the hotel: -Staff were all kind and attentive to requests. Even apologetic when things weren't able to be resolved -- like stoppers for the sinks. -The rooftop bar was a great vibe, great drinks. -Location is great and is certainly less expensive than some of the nicer hotels in the immediate area. -Room was clean. -Bed was comfortable. Recommendations to property: schedule a modernization renovation soon!
