Avoid this one
Wound up here because my boss' secretary, who had never been to NYC, picked it. Front Desk staff perfunctory and not particularly friendly during check in. Elevator was dark (you could barely make out the floor button numbers) and very small. Elevator landing/corridor width was somewhere around 24". Room was VERY dark (dark walnut colored floor, walls and furniture) with two halogen reading lamps on each side of the bed, one floor lamp with small bulb and one desk lamp with small bulb. Bed, free-standing armoire for clothing to hand on rod, desk, one nightstand. No dresser to put underwear, socks etc into. Bathroom was smaller than the pantry in my home. Bath linens consisted of two bath towels, two hand towels and two wash cloths on arrival. Inconsistent housekeeping resulted in two bath towels, one hand towel and one washcloth the second day and then two bath towels, one hand towel and no washcloths the last day of my stay.If you are into small, dark European hostel-type accomodations, you will love this place. Otherwise, avoid this one. I understand it was recently sold to Denihan (Affinia hotels) but they will have a hard time with this one short of gutting it and starting over. No in-room coffee, if that kind of amenity is important to you.
