Convenient for Midtown, good staff
Your pretty standard midtown boutique hotel, there's nothing exceptionally unique about the place, but it is clean and the staff is very nice...which sort of does put you ahead of the pack in this market.
I stayed here on business last weekend and last minute found out a friend from Long Island was going to come in to visit. I asked for a two-bed room when I arrived to drop my bag. They were out, but lo and behold when I returned to check in I had been upgraded to a studio suite. Still just one bed, but plenty of room to sort of build a bed on the floor. Not sure if that was on purpose or just luck, but I appreciated it either way.
We also received free breakfast in the morning for booking with a visa and the restaurant in the building was pretty good and had very fast service.
Only downside is that as far as NYC goes, it's in a pretty boring part of town (though boring and NYC really don't belong in a sentence together). Convenient for business travel, though.
The rate was competitive without being outstanding, but given the room upgrade, I can't complain.
