Great stay, great hotel
We just spent 4 nights in this hotel, had booked the corner suite rooms for us and my parents. Got top floor and 34th floor so views of Chrysler building and the river were stunning. Hotel is in a great and very safe feeling location away from a lot of the noise. Even walking back late at night was fine. They are having some renovation work done but does not impact and the work does not start till 9am.
Rooms are very big for a city hotel and kitchenettes very useful. Beds very comfortable and huge, big tv which helped with some of the football watching! Staff were all very friendly especially David the concierge. Barking dog diner was great for breakfast and even a nightcap after the theatre. You pay for wifi in rooms but it is worth it or free if you want to sit in the lobby. 
If you don't want to go to times square etc to eat ( don't they are too expensive there), there are loads of great places to eat near the hotel. We have stayed in other NYC hotels but this is the one we will return to.
