NYPD Investigating Hotel Staff For Criminal Activity
by bigblue32
The hotel staff committed grand larceny while I was a guest at the Essex House during early 2009. They stole more than $1,000 USD in currency out of my secured luggage in my locked hotel room during a 2 week stay. The front desk turned away the NYPD during the initial investigation and it has since been turned into a formal criminal investigation. In addition, during the course of this ordeal, hotel staff inadvertently disclosed that there has been past criminal activity at the hotel. I found this revelation to be startling given the image that the hotel likes to portray.
The hotel staff has declined to reimburse or make any concessions for their theft, which has not been surprising given their tolerance for employing criminals and then looking the other way.
This hotel has declined in status and it is reflected in their cheap room rates. Others in the travel industry are aware that this hotel is a magnet of theft and other crimes and are directing their clients elsewhere.
Save yourself the time and hassle and stay at another true 4-5 star hotel in NYC that does not tolerate criminal activity. There are numerous others to choose from.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Crime

The Spa at the Essex
by jmhamish22
I just went to the new spa that opened recently in the Essex Hotel with a friend. Not only is the atmosphere welcoming and relaxing, but the staff provides fantastic, accomodating service that will put you at ease. I had manicure/pedicure from a lovely woman named Kristina who was so friendly and knowledgeable. I then went for an amazing massage by Dan who possesses a high quality of his job and the way it is provided. All in all- a beautiful relaxing day was had without feeling rushed or pressured to buy or upgrade to something I didnt need or want. Oh- and the managers cute too.
- Pros: Great accomodations, wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff
- Cons: NONE
