Holiday Inn Midtown Hotel

Myself and two friends stayed in this hotel for 4 nights.
It has a "70's" look about it and most of the furniture looks like it has been there since the 70's! The room was adequate and clean enough however I was glad I was only here for 4 nights and we were not in the room much.
The hotel was on 57th and 9th, which was a good location and the 2 guys on the Information desk were helpful, however do not buy any theatre tickets here, as you can buy them much cheaper in Times Square.
I would not recommend this hotel.

We checked in to the Holiday Inn JFK for a 2-night stay. We checked in late at 12:30am and had to wait in a line of 5 people deep. Perhaps this is due to late arriving flights from JFK.
There was only one person working the front desk and she did not call for assistance to handle the other customers waiting. Only by chance that another hotel employee walked by, did he see there was a line and jumped in to help out.
The room itself was average. It was clean, which is what matters. The bathroom was also clean, however both the shower and sink did not drain well at all.
The restaurant provides a buffet style breakfast. I thought 15 dollars per person was a bit pricey for the limited selection. This breakfast was average at best. The service was poor...it took our waiter 15 minutes to run a credit card. My husband had to track him down in the back since we were waiting so long. Drive a few blocks down to the Dunkin Donuts and save yourself the money.
We also ate dinner in this same restaurant and found the dinner meal to be MUCH better than what we had sampled earlier in the morning. The meat was fresh, the vegetables perfect, and tons of bread (accompanied with butter at just the right temperature). The service for dinner was excellent as well.
All of the employees were courteous.
The strikers are still there, so be prepared to hear drums beating throughout the day.
