"Always love staying at the Knickerbocker. The room was clean but the AC did not work. The bathroom was beautiful! Check-in process was not so smooth when using Expedia, for some reason? Claimed to not have our reservation. Parking in the area is atrocious. Otherwise, still a great experience at the Knickerbocker!"

"The hotel room and the hotel themselves were nice! When we checked in the lady told us there was renovating going on. The saws and the Hammers started before 8:00 a.m. and she should not have put us in a room that was close to the renovation! That was ridiculous! It was so loud we could not sleep. Also, the parking is horrible! It's outrageously expensive in the nearest place to park is also expensive at $60 for one night!"
