Avoid!
This hotel is really terrible. I dont know about some of the reviews on here because there are some things that are not ok to overlook. The hotel is ery centrally located - just off times square. The beds are very comfortable. However, that is where the positives end. The hotel is under construction even though it does not say this anywhere on its own website. When I informed the staff at check in that this was the case - they looked at me like I had 3 heads and said "well we HAVE been underconstruction for over 3 years now!" with a half eye roll, as if I should have known this!! I said that we were being charged over $300 per room and this was poor service, followed by another eye roll. The lobby is like a building site and bus terminal rolled into one - its extremely busy with a large amount of bus tours coming and going out of the hotel. THe baggage area, was overflowing into this "lobby area" with lots of people sitting on their bags and waiting for their tour bus. It was chaotic. The check in area is up a flight of very very grubby stairs and there is minimum 20 people in the check in que for 3 receptionists.
Also when we were checking in there was a small photocopy notice which the receptionist did not hand to us but was left in a pile for you to take -we presume. The notice informed us that the water -hot and cold- would be turned off from 10pm to 6am - sorry for the inconvenience!! So I again informed the receptionist that we had not been made aware of this on booking, only a few days previous and that this was crazy to have such an expensive room with no running water!! I told her we needed bottled water at the least and she grudgingly went to get us 3 bottles of water for 4 people. At this stage we hoped the rooms which we were told had all been recently renovated would make up for this expierence. 
The walk to our room was really disgusting. The carpets, if they are new, were a rip off. They were already very stained and had not been vaccumed in at least a week. We had booked a double room - to say it was tiny is an understatement - we didnt have any place to put our bags really and there was no little amenities such as coffee making facilities - I have read the managers response to a previous guest stating this, and Im sorry but a kettle and two cups does not take up a large amount of space!!! Our tv did not work - the receptionist on being contacted about this - said we are aware of the situation and hung up!
Again the carpets were dirty. The walls were dirty. The bathroom was alright but all in all, it was a very grubby room that I think was in need of renovation!!!! The Work that had been done was very slap dash and all this plastic - on the walls, the doors etc. I could go on about this hotel but I wont. I complained the next morning as it was too late when we checked in to do anything about it - we got an apology but this was the only decent person we talked to on our stay. In all, rude staff, construction site, dirty rooms avoid at all costs!!! The "savings" are really not worth it for this hotel!
