Good Location - Rooms Need Updating
Firstly - important to say I was staying here on points. If I were paying I think the review would be a little different. 
The hotel has a great location and is definitely the right place to stay if you want to be right in the centre of New York.The new lobby is lovely and nicely decorated but the rooms themselves definitely need updating. They are relatively large for New York but the items in them, particularly the bathrooms, need a refurb. We had a faulty bathroom door which wouldn't close properly. 
Stay here - but get a deal.
