it;s New York your'e suppsoe to be intimated by staying at a hotel. If you are searching search no furthur! I got a great deal booking through a travel website and got a great room, super clean, well stocked, great bathroom products comfortable bed and order room serivce or go to the burger joint to die for! The staff went out of their way to accomdate any of our needs even finidng a day spa that would be open late and gave us a brochcure. Overall our stay here was perfect.

Pros: location, staff, burger joint

Cartoons in the elevators, huge tvs in spinning dividers, long skinny doorless showers, doorbells to each room....modern, fun, clean and awesome location. Pricey, but its new york! Go for a junior suite. Beds are incredibly comfortable, staff friendly and helpful. Will stay again!

Can't go wrong here. The location is amazing, and the rooms are super compfortable and well designed. Don't miss the restaurants, Norma's and the burger place (hidden but great). The staff is helpful and really friendly too.

I've stayed here in business. The room was small, but clean and very modern-looking. The service was very good. I would definitely stay here again and consider it among the better hotels among those in which I've stayed.

Pros: Service, Decor

I have been to Manhattan exactly 3 times in my life. On two occasions, I stayed at the Meridien. Absolutely gorgeous hotel, with a freindly, professional staff. Perfect location, and great values on the web.

Pros: Location, Cleanliness, Value

Cons: Room Size

I stayed at the Meridien for 6 nights on business. The price was great at under $250 a night in Sept. The rooms were a bit on the small side but were quite nice. The DVD/CD and free high speed Internet are great. The location is also excellent as it is just 2 block from Central Park and 100 feet from 2 subway lines. A excellent choice if in NYC.

Pros: Free Internet, Location

Cons: Somewhat snotty staff

They might not be up tight, as long as you dont ask for air conditioning. Seems the hotels AC/Heat system is either on or off no matter what the outside temperature is. I recently spent several nights staying in town for a wedding. The room was hot!!!. I requested the air conditioner to be fixed three times, only to be given "polite lip service" from the front desk staff. In the end I was informed that the AC would not be turned on. A maintenance person at the hotel said that they have this problem every year between seasons. After all else failed two calls to the General Manager went Un returned. I did notice that the lobby was air conditioned. I guess that the Hotel doesnt want newly arriving guests to know about the antiquated Air Conditioning system until after they have checked in.

Pros: Location, Food

Cons: No Air Conditioning, Old Linens, Un Responsive Staff

After an exhaustive research effort and multiple options for lodging in New York during our visit, we settled on the Parker Meridien. Not only did we get a good rate...directly from their website...but the view was spectacular! We stayed on the 31st floor and had an expansive view of the park and both sides of uptown manhattan. Gravity was very nice...great weight training facility. For cardio, who could beat a run in central park...only 2 blocks away. The pool was nice and the rooftop sundeck was great for some souvenier photos. Location was spectacular...about 8 blocks from Times Square, and two subway lines at 7th and 6th. FREE high speed internet access was nice. The only downside was that the room was fairly small and it seemed like the bedding was rather old. But, overall it was a great place to stay. Definitely get a park view if possible.

Pros: View, Pool, Location

Cons: small, old bedding

On a recent business trip to NY, I stayed at the Le Parker Meridien. Wow! Roof top swimming pool, roof top walking area, what a gym (free to guests), large integrated desk, FREE internet connection, aeron chairs, neat decor, 32 INCH WEGA TV, DVD, VCR, great restaurants - NORMA's and Burger Place and a pets's menu on the Room Service list. This hotel is different, fun, not like the W, the Ian Schrager hotels, the Kimptons. Experience it for yourself!!

Pros: Free Internet, 32" Sony WEGA TV, Cool restaurants

Cons: No other hotels in US, Kids on weekends, low flr w/o park view
