Definitely not a four star
We booked through Hotwire for a 4 star hotel in the empire state building area, and this is the hotel we got. The location was convenient for what we needed, and since we stayed only one night (sat) we had free street parking right outside the hotel which was really nice. We arrived around 7pm and there was a lot of parking available. 
Aside from the location, I did not like this hotel. The service was fine, but the room was pretty bad. I would definitely say this hotel is a 3 star - 3.5 star at best. The room was actually pretty big for a New York hotel and at first glance it seems ok, but upon further inspection the blanket was dirty, the ipod player didn't work, there's a sketchy looking couch, the shower didn't drain at all. The hotel just felt dirty. 
I would say I'm definitely picky when it comes to hotels, and I usually stay at 4-5 star hotels. Its an ok hotel, just not 4 star for sure.
