You can stay outside for this price
The hotel has a great location, but my first room was so cold, that I became really sick. The stuff was rude (with the exceptions of managers who were very understanding and polite). After spending one night in a room with about 50 degrees I was offered another room, however an engineer came and found that the window was simply open the whole night in the old room. Yes, this happened after all my complaints to the stuff who did not bother to look at the room.
Next room has a window, and after some arguments with the stuff I insisted that the engineer would check if the window is closed. It was for a while, but the window is fragile, almost non-existence, and next morning the temperature was so cold inside that the stuff even did not want to enter. Again, the manage is much better, more polite and understanding and agreed to refund two night out of four, but tis is nothing comparing to severe cold or pneumonia one can get in this hotel.
A cup of hot tea will cost you five dollars. 
Luggage people are nice and polite. 
I travel often to NYC but NEVER NEVER again come close to this hotel, and hope you will avoid it too unless windows do not matter for you and non-existent difference between inside and outside temperature is not an issue
