Good value, great location
I joined four family members at this hotel for a weekend birthday celebration, and it was a very good choice. The price was less than other centrally located hotels, but still within easy walks to major attractions and the always available public transportation. I would rather spend the cash on food and adventure than luxe accommodations! This hotel was clean and the rooms (one queen double, one queen double plus sofa bed) were good sized and comfortable. You can't always escape the street noise in NYC, but it was tolerable on our 27th floor. Staff was friendly and helpful with restaurant and transportation suggestions. There is no bar and very little lobby area, but staff reports they are due for remodeling and will be adding a full restaurant and bar next year.
