Very good - nearly perfect
Suggest you look at ukbar's review as says all i was going to say about location.
I stay in NY on holiday 2 sometimes 3 times a year - and have stayed at the 2 IHG locations close by (HI 6th Av and Hotel Indigo Chelsea) - all 3 hotels are recent developments and seem to be of same size 20 floors with approx 8 smallish room on each floor (this is central Newyork remember). 17th floor room with view of Empire state and Chrysler buildings (when the low cloud cleared). When i first saw the room i though i was in Crowne Plaza (or what i would expect for one) - in particular impressed with the Bathroom. Especially like the small opening window - AC very good but cant beat fresh air. Even though facing 31st street noise not too bad - and quite when window shut. Acceptable WIFI signal.
So how can this get to a 5 - i was only staying one night and had a late evening flight so asked about late checkout and told all i could get was 12.30 (normal 12). Also no recognition of PC platinum status (may have been reflected in room location but no acknowledgement by reception staff). However must add that the reception staff the following morning (forgot name by bearded guy) did acknowledge status and gave a 1.30 pm checkout. Tv good - although less channels that the 2 other hotels mentioned but good slection but not all working. I though ESPN was "blackout" for NYYgame but not working next day and MSNBC and a couple of HBO channels had "no signal". 
Lot of IHG hotels in the areas an NYC - and would stay here again for say if the price is comparible with the others and if no real difference would choose this one over competition.
