NYC quest for a real bathroom door

Is this happening to you OP? I just stayed at the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East two months ago, and the room had a hinged bathroom door.

OP. Thanks. Nope, the last three times I've stayed in midtown hotels I've been in regular non-accessible rooms and they've had sliders for the bathroom doors.

My concern is they don't prevent light, sounds, or odors from escaping into the room. And last time the door came off track and got wedged into place and wouldn't slide.

I never understand posts like this. Why not just answer OP’s question or not post at all. What is the point of questioning why someone is asking for information. There are many people who don’t like barn doors - they don’t block as well. Hotels love them because they save space.

For Hilton, I would try Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, or one of the upper end Hiltons.

JW Essex House definitely has hinged doors on the bathrooms.

The Doubletree in Times Square had proper doors the last time we stayed there, but it may have been renovated into an oversharing situation since

we just had the same thing in both Ohio and Kentucky so, must be a thing now...

It’s not going to make that much difference. Just send your partner on an errand when you need to poop, or something. Any bathroom activities that are noticeable in a small hotel room will still be noticeable if there’s a hinged door. A hinged door is not sound or air proof.
