I stayed here last Oct with my boyfriend and my parents. It was booked as a package so after we knew where we were staying i looked up some reviews on the net and was a little worried about what to expect.
When we arrived though I was pleasantly surprised, we found the staff to be helpful, the hotel to clean and perfectly adequate. Me and my boyfriend are used to staying in hostels so it was particularly comfortable for us, but my parents are used to 4/5 star luxury and they were quite happy with the accomodation.
The rooms were quite large, not exactly modern but comfortable and clean all the same. The bathroom looked recently refurbished and although quite small, it was fine for our needs. There's so much to do in NewYork that we literally only slept and showered at the hotel, we were out from 8:30 in the morning until 11 at night so I wouldn't really see the point in paying a huge amount for accomodation when your hardly there!
All in all I would recommend this hotel as long as your not that concerned with modern luxury!
One great thing about the hotel was that there was a subway just outside. There were regular direct trains to Time Square so the location meant that it was quick and easy to get to the centre. Theme: HotelComparison: less expensive than average
