Having been let down by guide book description of hotels(see my ranting about the Grant Plaza in SF for reference!) I was worried about the Cosmopolitan, and so I emailed to ask them to make sure we got a nice room as it was my 30th birthday. I got curt responses by email and became more worried.Needlessly worried because the staff were fantastic, the location great, the room spacious and clean, the bathroom had a bath AND a shower (I find this rare) and the shower was good pressure and constant hot water. There's a Starbucks under the hotel for mornings, and it's about half an hour by car from Newark Airport.
None of the things that have been quoted in negative reviews were here for me, except perhaps the noise, but if you're in New York what do you expect?
