Good hotel in NY with some downsides
This is a nice hotel close to Central Park and Times Sq. The building seems to be older, but the interior looks very trendy and rather new.
They upgraded me to a room with a massage chair - nice treat. I got this hotel for a nice price via priceline, would not go for it for the regular rate though.
The good:
-room was - for NYC-standards - of good size
-some rooms have massage chairs (the type you can use in shopping malls with coins, just without the need to put in coins)
-good location walking distance to Central Park
-friendly staff
The bad:
-bathroom was not cleaned well upon arrival - leftover of soap still sticking to the soap-holder and other residues visible in the corners around the bathtub... felt more like 2 stars than 4!
-bathroom door is made of glass and does not fully separate the bathroom for the bedroom. This looks fancy but 2 people sleeping in the room will have only limited privacy
-my room had a 'view' to an internal yard with A/C condensers.
-internet (available only via wireless connection) broke down for a few hours repeatedly during my 3 nights of stay
