Tribeca Grand Hotel

04/14/2008 Posted by remote1206

I stayed at the Tribeca Grand on 3/29/08 for my 5th Anniversary. It was beyond atrocious. They put us on the second floor, failing to advise us that the atrium (the rooms all overlook the atrium) turns into a nightclub until the wee hours of the morning. Suffice it to say, all of the reasons why you don't want to sleep in a nightclub came true here. Even worse, after agreeing not to charge me for my room, the hotel charged my credit card anyway and now refuses to reverse the charges!! The rooms are tiny, the staff is indifferent and I really should have read the other user reviews before agreeing to stay at this abomination. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Pros: none

Cons: extreme noise level, indifferent staff

I stayed here during my first visit to NYC and I have to say it was a good introduction to NY hotel hospitality. The location is fantastic -- the subway is just a few short blocks away as is Canal Street (for all your NY souvenir shopping) and Broadway. The decor is dim and modern and the doormen are fabulous. Sadly, we were put on the 4th floor and were later informed that it was the 5th floor and up that had the recent renovations - oh well, next time. Of course, this is NYC, so expect limited space, but all in all, it was a great experience (except for the main atrium resturant which served me the most disgusting breakfast ever).

Pros: Location, location, location!

Cons: Food

I love this place and have recently been making it my hotel of choice when I visit NYC. The hotel itself is beautiful, especially the decor inside. There are 7 or 8 floors each ringing an open space running the entire height of the building interior, overlooking the bar downstairs. The elevators are even classic looking, free-standing in the middle of the building. It's a bit dark inside, but that kinda goes with the rustic brown and black interior decorating, along with those brownish colored lights that are so popular right now (hard to know if it's tasty or reached the tacky point yet). The doormen are almost always there to pull open the doors for you. They give you a cool towel and champagne at checking ... very nice touch. The concierege is knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms are, well, hotel rooms, but they do keep them clean and have white noise speakers to drown out the city streets noise. At first I thought the AC was just loud, so you might have to find the controls and adjust to your comfort tho. Small exercise room suffices. Really close to the subway lines. And the bar is popular and fun at for happy hour and at night. I really do highly recommend this place.

Pros: At your service staff. Decor is beautiful.

Cons: Hard to get to if you don't know the Tribeca area well (even for the cabbies)

We had a great suite overlooking the subway station! but that was fine. The bar in the lobby was great, the service was as nice as the Four Seasons and professional. Nice breakfast delivered to our room, a nice apple flat screen in our room, 2 t.v.'s, funky furnishing, and a goldfish if you miss your pet (we did not partake in the fish). If you can find this hotel in hard to get to Tribeca, it is worth the visit. We liked the Landmarc very much for dinner.

Pros: Great bar, nice staff

Cons: hard to find!

we did the Tryst in Tribecca PAckage and it was awsome! When we got there the air conditiioning in our room was broken, they promtly moved us and while we had to wait we were given 2 free drink vouchers. We ended staying @ Church for 2 hours the atmosphere was so great . Service amazing, late check out is a must! Check out Pepilino, great Italian place (tiny!) in the neighborhood that has great food, even better prices...go for brunch

Pros: Service, Location

It wasn't cheap, but as cliche goes, "you get what you pay for." I had been to the Church lounge several times to drink in the past, but never stayed as a guest. Surrounded by the big ugly AT&T building and other run-down buildings in the vicinity, there isn't much to look at, but well people don't go to Tribeca Grand Hotel for the spectacular city skyline or to mingle with Mardi-Gras crowds. Instead, most visitors will find themselves surrounded by the best restaurants and clubs in this otherwise morbid neighborhood. Very attentive service. I certainly enjoyed my stay there.

Pros: modern, location, bar

We loved our stay at the Tribeca Grand. It's the perfect place to enjoy the laid back vibe of Tribeca. Cocktails in the hotel bar, Church, were the perfect start and end to our evening. The Grand was just blocks away from Bouley where we had one of the most memorable dining experiences in the city. And the hotel staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, which is often hard to find downtown. We had a great time and will be back soon.

Thankfully, this wasn't one of those "every-day" hotel chains. Location was great as it was a pleasure not to do the midtown thing. The hotel restaurant/lounge served great food & cocktails as well. Tribeca Grand was just what we were looking for!

I was appalled at the tiny rooms and the terrible room decor. My room looked like the inside of an Amtrak train car with creepy metal sinks and small, ugly TV set. I stayed on Friday and Saturday nights and the music from the bar in the center of the hotel atrium kept me up until 1:00am on Friday and 2:30am on Saturday. When I called to complain on Saturday night the front desk offered to make my room services from the previous night complimentary. That was very nice but on check out of course the meal was still on my bill. When I asked to have it removed the incredibly rude staff accused me on "scamming" him. Staying at the Tribeca Grand hotel was the worst hotel experience I've ever had!!

Cons: horrible service, noisy rooms, tiny rooms
