The hotel

In the on-trend East Side, this is a Midtown must for those wanting to see the sights and shop the shops of NYC without having to wander far. In fact, it’s just blocks from the boutiques of Fifth Avenue and treats of Bloomingdale’s, and a stroll from guidebook favourites like Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and Radio City Music Hall. It may be surrounded by iconic architecture, but Doubletree by Hilton Metropolitan holds its own in the style stakes. Originally the brainchild of Art Deco architect Morris Lapidus, it’s been brought back to its former glory while being bolstered by modern traveller musts, like its Met Grill, where you can tuck into full stateside or Continental breakfasts, and its Met Bar, a trendy lounge with cocktails, oversized sports screens, and an evening menu of ‘Met Bar Bites’.

This was the worst hotel experience that I have ever had and I never got to check-in. When I arrived at about 4 pm, there was a line of about 40 people trying to check-in. It was shocking. There were two people at the desk. I was there for two hours and then, had to leave because i thought that the room was a "covid buffet"- so many people in a hotel lobby. People were seated and standing everywhere. Being an older man with many co-morbidities and had to try to leave. There was no help when I called Hilton and Priceline could not do anything except to try to call the hotel. Priceline told me that no one answered and that they could not do anything without the hotel's staff allowing me to cancel my reservation. I do not know if my pre-paid reservation of two nights will be refunded. During this process, I had to stand outside in the freezing cold trying to get help on the phone, so that I did not contract covid. Read less
