Location, unique and good value.
In NY on business and needed a hotel close to the conference. City Club reminds me of Room Mate Grace, but is less trendy and more comfy/quiet. Check in was easy and I was surprised to find that there is a small bar adjacent to the reception area. The room was typical NY size, perhaps a bit smaller than Room Mate Grace but fine (I was in a queen size room). I have to believe that the "petite" is really small. The room featured a small desk, queen bed, and a small sofa built into the window. Flat panel on the wall, iron/board in the closet with the mini bar but NO coffee pot. Bathroom was nice - a big bathroom (or not small) and marble always make you feel spoiled. Free internet. Bed was comfy, but the bed felt a little short (I'm 5'10" and my feet were down on the end). Overall, I had no major complaints. I did notice some foot traffic in the halls (no carpet out there), but the amount was small and didn't bother me. I could see it being a problem if the floor was busy. I also could not hear any of the guests in the adjacent rooms. 
Price - I saw some reviews talking about rates in the $200s and even under $200. I paid $330 for a queen, which I thought was reasonable for City Club. If you are able to get a rate here under $250 for a queen, I think you got a deal.
Other items to know - there is a 24hr pharmacy around the corner in case you forgot a few items and there is also a greasy spoon next door that opens at 6am and I think is open late. The place was hopping, so I'm betting it was pretty good.
