Good for those on a budget; comfortable; nothing to right home about
I stayed here for 3 nights during a convention. It is a great location and is safe and clean. The rooms are small and tight but they are clean and safe. There are several great restaurants right across the street including the great French Restaurant facing the hotel.
The front desk staff can be surly and curt. It is almost as if once you check in they are "done with you" and don't want to be bothered. There are a lot of foreign guests here particularly those arriving from early morning flights from overseas. Don't expect to be allowed to check in early. They'll (the front desk staff) check your bags and tell you to come back after 3 p.m. That is a long time to wait. I've stayed at other hotels such as The Muse on 46th Street where they will try and help you if you are arriving early as soon as they can. But not here. 
Also housekeeping is very, very slow. I came back to my room at 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. and the room still had not been made up. I had to go downstairs to the desk and ask for the room to be made up and I had been out of the room since 8:30 a.m. that morning. You would have thought I was asking for someone to part the Red Sea!
So if you are looking for a good price and minimal service this is the place for you.
OH! I almost forgot. The beds are HARD AS ROCKS! They call it a modern platform bed. Why do they call it that? Because it is a paper thin mattress on a board. I call it sleeping on a rock.
My back never hurt so much than when I woke up in the morning---so be prepared.
