For hipsters and/or short stays only
Fortunately, I was only staying for the weekend. Otherwise I might have gone stir crazy. My room was so tiny -- and it had no closet. The good thing, though, was that I wasn't on the 2nd floor where I was warned that the rooms were noisy because of the "Social Event" happening in the club on the 1st floor later that evening.
The design of this boutique hotel really is cool, so the younger crowd will find it very attractive. The location is also great -- close to everything in Times Square -- and believe it or not, being on the 8th floor I did not have a lot of street noise and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet my room was. The drawback of being on the 8th floor, however, was trying to get the elevator in a timely fashion. There are only two very small, very slow-moving elevators for the entire hotel. I saw many exasperated guests during my short stay.
Not sure why I had to wait 25 minutes for a bowl of yogurt/granola during breakfast service in their restaurant when I was one of two guests. After that experience I decided not to take my chances for lunch or dinner.
Still with all of this, I'm giving my experience an "average" rating, rather than "poor" because my room was spotless (including the bathroom) and my bed was extremely comfortable.
