Born and raised NYer, work here, live in the NJ burbs now, but know NYC like the back of my hand. For our 10 year anniversary I booked a room for my wife and I for a weekend without the kids in Manhattan. For $737 we were escorted up to our room for a guided tour of how to open the electric blinds and to show me where the bathroom and closets ...
I'm a born and bred NYC woman -- born in Bklyn, grew up in Queens, moved to Manhattan and lived there for 12 years and now live in London. Whenever I come home I go to the Mercer. The Mercer IS NYC -- the staff is not rude at all -- these reviews are coming from people who probably do not travel on a regular basis and do not know how to go ...
I sure wish I had read other reviews more closely before I stayed at the Mercer Hotel recently. I was totally put off by its rude personnel and have pledged to never return. Little did I know in searching the Internet that I am far from the first to note that this premium-priced hotel regularly gets complaints that the staff feel they are doing ...

Absolutely Fabulous
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/17/06
In the heart of Soho with fabulous rooms and bathrooms to die for. They must have had some special windows, too, because the city noise was nowhere to be heard.

Disappointing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/18/05
For the money, you can do better elsewhere. NYC is an easy place to get around and you don't have to be in SOHO to enjoy the area. Better to stay Uptown where they know how to deal with guests properly.

What ever happened to Customer service????????
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/29/05
I work in customer service and know how to treat my customers. Why doesn't this place? What happened to Russell Crowe is not his fault. Yes, he shouldn't have thrown the phone at the employee, but that employee should have helped him with his problem. Isn't it the job of the employee to assist customers? To be friendly and to make ...

Great location - small rooms
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/09/05
A real designer feel, but small rooms. Great location, good restaurant. Not worth the price unless you want to stargaze or just say "I stayed at The Mercer."
Made reservations 3 weeks in advance on phone with them, then when we get there they have no record of it! They then charge me a (LOT) higher rate for not having reservations on top of it.
I wouldn't mind the $ so much, if it wasn't for their excessively insulting attitudes!
Other than that, the modern rooms are somewhat average ...
