pit of despair
This hotel has one thing going for it, it is across from Madison Square Garden. Not sure where to start with the negatives... I guess check-in:
Huge line, which is understandable since we were there for the dog show. But, once we finally reached the counter our room was not available, we'd need to wait in the line again to check in... want to leave your luggage with them? $4 a bag!!!! Oy!
Once we finally got our room, it was tiny and really gross:
Dirty carpets
Dust basically everywhere, if you open the historic valet doors, you will find enough dust to clog any vacuum cleaner.
Furniture was basically falling apart
Heat either pumped out too much hot air, or was freezing, with basically no way to control the temp.
Outlets were incredibly loose and often your electronics just fell out of them.
Terrible pillows with no extras available.
The walls were paper thin.
Ice machine was not working on our floor.
Ok on to the bathroom:
Yuck!!!! Mold everywhere!
Peeling paint and huge holes in the walls
Huge stains on the marble
shower was at about chin level and was so forceful it actually hurt to use it
The wind from the forceful shower pulled the curtain in to the shower area so it stuck to you while bathing. This also lead to a huge amount of water on the floor of the bathroom.
The temp was impossible to control and often would scald you.
The tub stopper was not connected to the chain, so impossible to empty the tub. We figured that housekeeping would help with this issue, but nope, returned to find a tub filled with the same water... Had to jam a hanger in there to unstop! 
Basically it was nice to be able to walk to the dog show and hang with pups in the lobby. Everything else was awful!
