Average at best
This hotel has many positives such as being close to Times Square, Rockfeller Center, Central Park, Columbus Circle and many more. It also is relatively inexpensive as 4 of us stayed for under $200 per night. The lobby has also been updated and the rooftop pool is a great spot to take a break from sightseeing. However, the hotel needs updating - the elevators need to be updated and so do the rooms. The room we had faced 57th Street which is busy, so you get lots of noise even though we were 15 floors up. The beds were uncomfortable, the AC barely worked and the bathroom was small and in need of major renovation. Also, I had asked for a room that was away from high traffic/noise areas and I got a room right off the elevators beside the ice machine. Needless to say I wouldn't recommend this hotel especially for stays longer than a day or two. The hotel is scheduled for refurbishment starting in January 2013 - I hope that means ripping everything out and redoing the entire room and demolishing and re-constructing the bathrooms.
