The Ultimate Bargain! (for points, that is)

by 4rhodes Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 31 '01
Pros: Central location, beautiful rooms, superb staff, the ultimate luxury!
Cons: If not on points, this could be an expensive nights' stay!
Where can you stay in Manhattan for $2.00 a night? Well, if you have racked up some points in your Hilton Honors Club, you can stay at The Waldorf Astoria for as little as $1.00 per night, plus points. My husband and I enjoyed all the...

Fancy, but not my kind of fancy.

by kboo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 03 '02
Pros: They gave me a huge discount when I was displaced after the WTC attacks.
Cons: Unfortunately, they treated me like a poor country cousin for it.
The Waldorf=Astoria is a Park Avenue icon, a legend. I remember being swept up in the fantasy as an 8-year old child, when I read a Reader’s Digest account of a serviceman who proposed to his wife on the roof of the Waldorf during World War II. He was...

Pros: Beatiful hotel, good location
Cons: Terrible, rude service
Recently, my husband, our three children, and I, embarked on our annual family vacation. This year we chose New York City. When making plans last winter, my goal was to cash in Hilton HHonors and American Express points, and hopefully find rooms for...

Cons: Pretty expensive, but worth it.
The Waldorf-Astoria was one of those places I'd heard about all my life, but never thought I'd actually have the opportunity to stay in.

Quite Nice, but don't expect the world.

by teamw23 , Feb 23 '03
Pros: Elegant public spaces, terrific location, comfortable bed with nice linens, Sunday Brunch Buffet.
Cons: Mechanical systems not up to par, a little faded around the edges.
The Waldorf Astoria is a NY institution, and is generally viewed as one of the nicest hotels in the city. The wealthy and famous have been staying at the Waldorf Astoria for years.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what all the travel brochures say....

Do Not Even Think Of Staying Here Unless....

by hwz1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 05 '02
Pros: Glamour, luxury, glitz, class, simply the best
Cons: Expensive
Does the Waldorf Astoria conjur up images of class? Of Luxury? Of a time that has been forgotten? Of a "name" hotel in center on the world? If it does not, it should.

I spent the night before New Years and the following day at the Waldorf...

A nicely situated but tired, worn out hotel relying on it's established "posh" reputation!

by tonsta2000 , Apr 26 '04
Pros: It's in New York - Good, central base for shopping and tourism.
Cons: Needs total renovation. Old, tired, NOT a 5* experience. Trades on former glory!
Oh dear! In April 2004, my partner and I made our 2nd EXCELLENT trip to the USA, staying in Las Vegas and New York. After 6 ultra-brilliant nights in Vegas we arrived in New York and after a 5 hr flight and a 1 hr cab-ride we found ourselves outside ...

Everyone Should Try It At Least Once

Pros: Landmark Historic Hotel, Beautiful Lobby and Rooms, Great Location, Fine Staff
Cons: Usually Expensive
My experience in early October 2001

I stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria under decidedly unusual circumstances. I often like to go up to Manhattan to get away for a long weekend of fun. In the wake of the attack of September 11th, I...

Make sure you bring a BIG umbrella!!!

by pointman , Jun 29 '01
Pros: lovely lobby, good location
Cons: very rude check-in clerk, delayed check-in, water gushing from ceiling, below-average accomodations for price
As part of our honeymoon plans, I thought it would be very romantic and special for my wife and I to spend a night at a luxury hotel in New York City. We considered several hotels including the Plaza and the St. Regis, and decided on the Waldorf=Astoria...

Elegant Old World Stlye

by wilkera1 , Jun 25 '01
Pros: Nice location, beautiful hotel.
Cons: Can be expensive.
Have you ever wondered what New York in the early 1900s would have been like?

Then why not do something different and stay at the historic Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Founded in 1893, the Waldorf has been pleasing people for over a century. The...

My home away from home

by lilym01 , Aug 10 '01
Pros: Service, location, ambience
Cons: Rack Rate, Hilton's new marketing tactics
I stay in the Waldorf several times a year. It's absolutely lovely, the service is wonderful (except for the parking attendants who can be ditzy during busy seasons) and it's convenient to everything.

That said, there are some considerations...

Simply THE BEST!

by docjohn99 , Nov 25 '00
Pros: Centrally located in UPTOWN Manhattan.
Cons: New York City is too far from Oregon to visit monthly!
There are three ART DECO gems in NYC, Rockefeller Center - The Chrysler Building and The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. All were built within a few years during the 1930's.
My family stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel (actually we were guests at The...

Faded Glory

by qualmod , Jan 04 '05
Pros: "Movie Set" Lobby
Cons: Not worth the $$
I am a "Road Warrior" who travels about 50-60% of the time for business. I have had my share of both good and bad hotel experiences - and expected high-end accomodations from the Waldorf Astoria (owned by Hilton Hotels). I am a Hilton Gold member and...

New York's grand old hotel

by CoolGobi , Apr 23 '02
Pros: Historic, famous hotel, grand lobby, great location in midtown Manhattan
Cons: Nothing special about the room
In a city full of ultra-chic hotels with minimalist lobbies and trendy lounges, the Waldorf=Astoria holds its own. From its Park Ave address to its art-deco facade, it's ornate, grand lobby to its clubby wood-paneled lounges, the Waldorf exudes class....
