So, for starters, the room we stayed in was NOT the room in the photos. The room in the photos is in fact Brandon's room, aka there is no guest balcony access unless you walk through his room (which we were not comfortable doing, we didn't want to invade his personal space). The room we stayed in was a good size and had a half bath which was nice, but it was in definite need of a good cleaning (the bath mat looked like it had never been washed, ever). The room had absolutely no furniture other than the bed and a dresser with six drawers, all of which were full of clothes. The room was FAR from homey. Prior to our arrival Brandon told me the sheets for our room were at the cleaners and would not be ready until 6:30pm the day of our arrival - cool with me, however, I assumed that since he gave me no instructions for picking up the sheets, or as to where the cleaner was located, I assumed he would be picking up the sheets and at least put them in our room. Not the case. We arrived around 5pm, went out, and came back around 11pm...alas, still no sheets. When entering the building we noticed what looked like laundry bags piled up, so we thought we'd give that a shot and went the 30 floors down and asked the doorman if he had their laundry, he did. When we came back up and opened the bag it was primarily the guys' clothes. We found a fitted sheet, but no top sheet and no pillow cases. We then had to ask his roommate if he had any extra sheets that we could use, and luckily he did (he was very nice about it, but almost seemed like he had no idea we were even staying there and told us Brandon always deals with guests). At this point I was completely exhausted and all I wanted to do was sleep, we had been up since 4am traveling. Dealing with this sheet situation may not sound like a big deal, but when you're paying as much money as we did for this room the LEAST I expected was a comfortable place ready for me to sleep.

The next major annoyance was the fact that one night the guys invited a bunch of friends over without so much as giving us a heads up. They stayed up until 3am drinking. I did't go to NY to go to bed early every night, but this night we stayed in because of the blizzard so we were essentially trapped in our room listening to these guys in the living room swapping disgusting stories about their female conquests...like come on, ew. AND THEN, cherry on top, one of these drunken dudes ate all of our leftovers we had put into the fridge from a very expensive dinner we treated ourselves to (which we NEVER do).

Would not recommend.
