Surprisingly great!
My husband & I live only an hour from NYC but we occasionally enjoy the convenience of staying in town. Despite the hoards of tourists crowding the lobby at various times of day this turned out to be a great hotel. Expectations were modest & it exceeded them all. The executive king room was beautifully appointed, fresh, in great shape, & even had a little kitchenette as a bonus. And a central lighting fixture over the bed! Marble bath was more than adequate in size, functionality & amenities. Our room faced 49th Street which provided an open view to Worldwide Plaza's outdoor space. No disturbing noises. Found a discounted rate for Sunday night, wanted to stay again on Tuesday, but was disappointed to hear that rates double during the week. We'll return some other Sunday. Oh, it really can take a half hour for the valet to retrieve your car, so plan ahead. I say give this place a try but insist on a renovated room, high floor, away from elevators.
