My New Yorker experience
The hotel wasn't quite what I expected. It looked different on the website.....more modern. Although the room was neat, it was small and old. Carpet needs replaced and bathroom should be renovated. There was constant drilling that gave me a headache my first night. I reported it to hotel staff and they didn't believe me. The problem didn't get resolved until two days of listening to this drilling. Then they moved me to a different room. The hot water stopped working and when it came back on rusty water returned with it that left a horrible residue on the wash cloth. Good thing I wasn't in the shower at the time like one of the other quest who was sharing her frustration with the staff when I was. 
The location was great though. Short walks to Macy's, Time Square, Madison Square Garden and subway.
