Poor Hotel, just Banking on it's Lobby
The only good thing about this hotel is it's public spaces- like it's lobby- but who cares about that when you are actually STAYING in the hotel? It's better to visit for a drink rather than to stay- there are much better places in new york than here. 
OK so to start, my husband and I were put up here for business and let me tell you that we would never stay here again no matter what. We are originally from New York so we knew to expect the beautiful lobby, but we didn't expect how disparate the match would be from the room to the public area. 
First, we had to bring up our own bags up a full flight of stairs as there was no doorman or bell boy available to help or even direct us to the elevator. Next we had to wait on a line that was literally 45 minutes long just to check in-no exaggeration. Once we got to the front of the line we were told they gave away our room. We had no room. How does a hotel do this? They said that people were checking out this evening and we could probably get one of their rooms at 10 that night. Wow, how generous- they didn't even offer us anything free to assuage us for our trouble.
So we finally do get our room that night after we get back from work and when I got up to where we'd be staying and i thought it was a joke- it looked like a converted closet and we couldn't even find the bathroom because the main door blocks it completely when it is open. The marketing term "cozy queen" was really a disingenuous name. To describe it more accurately you should think of Harry Potter's broom closet- that's about how big the room was. We wouldn't have been able to fit normal luggage in it. Thank goodness we only had carry-ons. To top it off the bathroom was GROSS with old crusty tile. It also was so small that my husband couldn't even stand up in the shower. The room smelled moldy and had a view of a brick wall. 
To make matters worse the staff was overworked and overwhelmed. They were rude because they were obviously understaffed and had to deal with hordes of disappointed people. To tell you the truth, I felt badly for them. The fault and problem of this hotel seems to lie with the management as all the staff i spoke to begged me to fill out a comment card to help them perhaps get more staff and make their lives easier. 
Anyway, long story short, please don't stay here even though it's location seems appealing. New York is an awesome city with hundreds of hotels better than this one.
