Don't Be Fooled
Location is the only thing going for this hotel. Our party stayed there over the Labor Day weekend and it's a perfect location, just a block and a half from Time Square and we had a very fair room rate. As far as the remodelling is concerned, they couldn't change the size of the rooms, which are tiny, tiny, tiny. The remodeling is cheap, tacky and very depressing as they have used excessive amounts of Battleship grey as the base color for rooms and hallways. The front desk staff didn't seem overly concerned about service although the maintenance staff were very helpful and worked hard to resolve the problems we had with plumbing, electrical and housekeeping. Remodelling was not complete in foyers or public areas and won't be finished until early next year and even then I'm not sure it will turn a sow's ear into a silk purse! Unless location is the only priority for your stay in NYC I don't recommend you book into this hotel!
