more like apt. than hotel
This was a very nice place to stay. It is more like an apartment than a hotel. You walk in to the entryway (with 4 small desks for check-in) and take the elevator to your room. The rooms were nicely decorated, were reasonable size for Mahattan, had a marble shower and granite counter in the bathroom.
We were there on a promotional trip to view a timeshare. On President's Day, the sales people were VERY busy, so we had a short (25 min rather than 90 min) non-pushy presentation. On a less busy day, they probably would have tried harder, but our sales lady had another presentation to go to and didn't want to waste time on us if we weren't interested.
As others have mentioned it is a very good location. We went down a few doors to Carnegie Hall for a concert and across the street to the Steinway store, we we played the pianos without a salesperson even entering the room.
Other travelers mentioned that there was not daily maid service, but the maid did come both mornings we were there.
It was a very good value for the promotional price ($150/night for 2 nights).
If I am to be nit-picky, I'd mention that the fan for the room heating/cooling is rather loud.
Tip: The main New York Public Library on 5h Ave.and 42nd St. has an exhibition room (free) with a Gutenberg Bible, Thomas Jefferson's handwritten draft of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington's handwritten Farewell Address and the first edition of Christopher Columbus' report on his explorations of America among other interesting items. Well worth visiting!
