Great hotel for a quick business stay. Valet is worth it if it is available because parking near ny can by sketchy. The staff was extremely friendly.

Executive Hotel Pacific
Leaky refrigerator, water was not very hot in the shower. Overpriced breakfast, so I declined. Restaurant attached to the hotel was meh and also overpriced. Parking was extremely inconvenient, so much so that I got lost and ended up in a minor traffic collision due to gridlock. Explanation for directions ...

I’m a disabled customer and this hotel was extremely helpful, courteous and made my stay less stressful. They were accommodating and the Italian restaurant in the hotel is amazing! Lauren was a phenomenal waitress! The staff was so great… until I checked out and the bell guy was not very helpful ...
