Hits and Misses
Stayed for one night on a business trip in January 2012. First the plusses: efficient, friendly service at both the front desk and in the restaurant, where I had lunch. There is a very large, inviting room with computers for internet access and/or reading and relaxing. The midtown location is very convenient to both Penn and Grand Central Stations, Times Square, Broadway. Rockefeller Center and just about anywhere in Midtown. The minuses: rooms are small (the size of my bathroom was on par with what you would find on a cruise ship), furniture is spartan, no iron or ironing board in the room, flat-panel TV only received about 1/4 of the channels, typical late night noise with garbage trucks at 4:00 a.m.
I got a great deal on this stay using Hotels.com and would stay here again if I got a similar deal next time. But there are definitely other properties at the same price point in Midtown to consider.
