The costs of a standard room with Club lounge access (US$120 or so per night) is one of the most competitive and value-for-money in New York's uber expensive accomodation scene (where $200 and over a night is more the norm). The location of the Hotel is also very much central: being only about 5 minutes walking distance from both Times Square and Broadway, visitors would have quick and easy access to some of New York's most famous landmarks.
When I first arrived at the hotel, I found the room to be functional, if a little antiquated. That said, there was definitely a certain rustic charm to the room. One little matter though was that the walls appeared to be somewhat thin, which allowed me to eavesdrop on conversations that took place in adjoining rooms if the visitors in those rooms were too loud (and presumably, for them to listen in to conversations that I had if I were too loud). This was of course, part of the charm of the place, and can be easily overlooked, though I can imagine how disconcerting that might be if you were attempting to sleep at night and you were beside a particularly noisy neighbour (I was blessed with early sleepers as neighbours). There was a view of New York from my hotel room - while nothing spectacular, it is easy to forget that given the hotel's considerably lower-than-norm charges, the fact that any view is available is, in and of itself, quite a bonus. The lift-allocation-system is also structured in such a way that in most instances, you'd be given a dedicated lift to go to the level that you need - while some find the system inconvenient (and to be sure, it is, to some extent), I loved it since it means there is no need to engage in small talk with other guests.
That is not to say the Hotel is not without its faults. For one, it did appear during my stay that there were too many people who had access to the Club lounge, making it impossible to get seats in the Club lounge if you are not an early riser (whenever I went to the Club lounge at 9:30 am, for example, it was impossible to get seats, though it was much easier to get seats whenever I went earlier than 9 am). The Club lounge is also separate from the level the hotel room is on, which does mean the little inconvenience of taking the lift whenever you needed to go to the club lounge.
In short, Milford Plaza is not perfect, and definitely no big-name 5-star hotel, but for its costs and central location, is extremely value-for-money, especially in the festive season where most other comparable hotels charge almost double what Milford charges.
Will Hilton Sarawak offer the same satisfaction? Read on and find out!
Very simple decor, nothing fancy mancy very clean very neat. Oh by the way that crease was made by ME so don't blame Hilton for it. A small sofa (unfortunately not those laze ones) with a round table
Simply delicious!
Sorry but I forgot to take the picture of the tv - but take my word for it will yeah - they are still using CRT 29" TV - maybe they will upgrade in upcoming years I am sure of it - not a minus point but I am kinda used to LCD by now so it can be a little difficult adjusting to CRT all over again.
Nothing is complete of course without their complimentary toiletries. Hilton Sarawak unfortunately disappoint in this area. The bath foam, shampoo and conditioner smell cheap ( I am sure I wasn't having a running nose at that time!) and too soapy for my liking.
And yes, please visit their delicacy shop at the lobby area and give the hot chocoloate a try. My very young cousin was asked what kind of chocolate does she want - the conversation went like this:
Of course if you don't fancy hotel food and can't be bothered to walk far, you don't have to. Simply go by the hotel river exit and cross the road and you will come to a hawker centre by the river.(picture below)
Unfortunately the tv is not big - I really need my plasma 42" tv fix :(
I really like the design of the bathroom very much - you can just laze in the bathtub and watch tv at the same time or if you prefer privacy - you can always use the sliding partition door.
The shower is pretty large enough for two - ehem! 
And so for a mere 
Nice ain't it? Yup I thought so too. It is very chic looking and definitely at a bargain price. Do not expect facilities at this hotel - like I said it is a boutique hotel thus the only available facility is one restaurant but if you are just staying in KL for shopping paradise then this hotel is good for mere accomodation.
A very simple looking shower head.
Comes with a sofa and a nice armchair - Ok this could be a one time instances but after sitting on the sofa my body itch all over.
Basic amenities like the safety box - no ironing board though.
Day view outside the the window - and yes thats the new Pavillion shopping complex.
Night view of the Pavillion from the comfort of your room. You can still hear a bit of din outside but its not too obtrusive that you won't be able to sleep.
