My stay at The Pierre was a mix of indulgence and disappointment. The prime location by Central Park is unbeatable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made me feel welcome. However, the room I got didn’t have the expected view, and some amenities felt dated and in need of a refresh. Dining experiences varied, but room service was definitely a highlight for me.

My stay at The Pierre was a mix of luxury and some disappointments. The location is fantastic, right near Central Park, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, I was let down by my room's view, which was not what I had expected, and the breakfast didn't quite meet my high expectations given the price. Overall, I appreciated the lavish experience but would consider other options next time. 🌆🍰

The attentive staff and beautiful dining options created a welcoming atmosphere, while some outdated facilities and a cramped workspace left room for improvement. Despite the quirks of the hotel, its really good service and heritage won me over in the end. 🌟
