Posh, but tiny rooms, in sleepy section of Manhattan
This hotel is immaculately clean and stylish. However, the room I had was tiny-- the bed was up against a wall on one side and about two feet from the other wall, and I am not exaggerating when I say that the bathroom was about the size of an airplane bathroom, and the shower was about the size of a telephone booth (for those under 30 who don't know what a telephone booth is, it is about 2 feet square, just enough room to turn around in.) On the commode I had to embrace a pillar in the wall if I didn't want to sit sideways. Also, for no apparent reason, there was a clear window in the bathroom wall which allows anyone in the room to see into the bathroom, even when the door is closed. You better be on very friendly terms with your roommate. 
The hotel is located in a nice, but sleepy section of Manhattan. No night scene in this part of east midtown. But the subway entrance is only two blocks away, and lots of nice stuff, such as Times Square and Central Park, is about 15-20 blocks away if you want to walk or take a short cab ride.
