Nice hotel
Stayed here for 11 nights in April 2012.
SERVICE: Staff in hotel very friendly and helpful. Organised taxi through them on way back and much nicer than yellow one on way; VALUE: I was in a larger room which was still about the same as a Premier Inn in the UK. But NYC rooms are it seems and I would rather be in a smaller room than a larger rat-infested place. Paper every day nice touch but chocolate nothing to get excited about. Shower good quality and soaps etc. replaced every day. Mini-bar not cheap but they are always the same. SLEEP QUALITY: Fairly good. The sound-proofing partially works. If you have the air-conditioning on which is not a silent system which I am used to in UK hotels. Main noise if from window and door. Was noisy a few times in the corridor from the lift and people/cleaners dragging the vacuum around. Doors 'slam' rather than close. But it was a city break so did not mind, CLEANLINESS: Could not fault. Plus if you put the sign on the door to say sleeping they did not clean unlike European cleaners which seem to come in regardless. LOCATION. Excellent in terms of where it was (everywhere convenient and Port Authority for tube useful for going to Chelsea), Downside was quite a few homeless people and people 'hanging around' - but never felt unsafe and always a lot of people about. Police officer often on duty around area as well. Really close to some nice restaurants as well so you can avoid TImes Square (I found the walk horrible due to crowds). Bit smelly dirty and end of road due to 2 brothers and the people who eat there and do not know how to use a bin. ROOMS: Only four on floor I was on. TV a good size, Radio had dock which was useful for charging iPhone 4. Coffee machine a bit slow but okay and 1 tea 1 coffee per person per day provided. Tea bareable but expected that. Furniture showing signs of a bit of wear and tear but same with Hilton who use the dark furniture. Would have preferred a normal duvet rather than sheets floating over a duvet as always came off. 
Overall a nice place to stay and would recommend. Would look to use one of the various discounts floating around the discount if I was to stay again ever though. I would say it was worth 4 star, the staff work very hard. But not worth 5 for the price charged as room too small for longer stays, and occasionally noisy, plus the road is a bit of a backstreet.
