Convenient location
What was good:
Location: extremely convenient, within walking distance of midtown and downtown.
Service: very helpful.
Restaurant: serves a good buffet breakfast.
Value for money: in terms of NYC hotel prices, the advanced rate for this stay ($135) was very good.
Room: clean and comfortable, but small even by NYC standards.
What was not so good:
Arriving after 3:30 (check-in is at 3pm), the room I'd booked was still not available. 
The television was broken.
There was no hot water in the morning: it began as lukewarm and got cold quickly.
The bathroom tile grout and fixtures were in not-great condition -- chipped and in need of refurbishing.
