Over-rated
It is a shame that a hotel will tout itself as being upper tier and being no better than a Days Inn. That is no slight to a Days Inn, I have stayed in many of them, just not at $300 a night. Where to start? Might as well start with the bathroom which is the size of my second bath at home. The tile grout was just nasty. You could tell that they tried to cover it up, but when you cover up dung, it is just dung with a paint job. The towel rack was barely hanging on the wall. Hair dryer was pitiful. Vanity was stained and just plain ugly and dated. When you look at the room you see things that were probably new 30 years ago. From broken outlets to very dated furniture and pictures. Of course the AC did not work very well. The controls were locked to where you can't even adjust the settings. Did not care for any person that worked there except for the manager who checked us out, she seem nice. The girl who checked us in told us we were on the 11th floor at first then tried to up-charge us to a high floor room, when we declined we were put on the 8th floor. You would not think this would be an issue to see over the trees, but guess what, the 8th floor is not really the 8th floor. The elevator showed that they skip floors. I paid for a park view, we got to see a few trees. 
Almost forgot, the bed was great, pillows not so much. 
There is only one benefit to this hotel, it is located very close to the Q, N, & R subway line which will take you to Times Square/42 nd street, which BTW is where I would recommend to everyone who is going for fun to stay.
