Amazing location- worth the stay :)
First off I have to say- after reading some really terrible reviews on this hotel I was scared of what to expect when we'd get there. But to my surprise, everything went smoothly. 
We arrived on a Monday- check in says 3pm and we got there around 12:30. So we were worried that we'd have to walk around and waste time until we could check in. Maggie at the front desk let us know that our room was ready for us! And she was super nice :) All the staff were. From the door men, to the reception to the concierge! 
Our room was a standard queen room. Nothing special, nor was it really big. But hey, it's New York- you can't expect to get a huge room! I LOVED the decor of the room and the overall hotel. VERY trending. 
The room was kept very clean thanks to the wonderful housekeeping. I wish we had a better view- but I am sure you can always ask to upgrade to a better view. We didn't go see the gym or the pool- just no time. We did go up to the roof top bar- which sucked. We got two drinks that came up to $26. WTF? And the "roof" was closed so you couldn't see the view of the city. So don't waste your time going up there at night. Might be better early on in the evening. Also- we went on a Tuesday night- so maybe it's better on a Friday or Saturday night. 
My favorite part of the hotel was the location. It's close enough that you can walk anywhere! Central Park is right next door. It's a close walk (maybe 15 mins or so) to Times Square, and there's a cute little mall at Columbus Circle. It's also close to the 59th Subway station which has a train ( the "D" line) that takes you right to Yankee Stadium! 
I'd recommend this hotel to anyone :)
