The Lowell New York Hotel

Very expensive for what you get. They have a fire place in the room which is great, but they charge you for $50 for the wood which only last for about a few hours. We had breakfast for the two of us more the $100. Thats crazy. It is an expensive hotel and I am used to that but in this place they also try to add a lot of margin to stupid small things. Not clique at all and definitely not smart in a Europeans vision. Also the restaurant from the hotel "the post house" is terrible. Its an low quality steakhouse and everything is swimming in grease. Its so heavy and unhealthy, thats not normal. A piece of steak of more then 1 kilo per person. Incredible . We asked for the bill for we didn't want to stay in such a place. Then they offered us (which was kind) an amazing piece of heavy cheesecake. Sorry this was clearly not our place and we felt is was not fitting the establishment. The Lowell is pretending to be.

The hotel itself was gorgeous. I have no complaints about that. But I suppose that when they see a young couple, that they think there's going to be problems. I really don't like that considering that we both grew up in an affluent town and my home is better furnished than the hotel.

Everyone was very nice, but standoffish. You could feel the tension and I could have really done without it. It was a trip home for the holidays and I wanted to be happy. We ended up spending less time at the hotel than we would have liked and didn't invite anyone to come visit us there because we didn't want any problems. It's not a way to spend our money or our holidays.
