Nice Room - Disappointed w/ everything else
Upon arrival at the hotel we were confused to see no one to great us at the door and take our car. i double parked and and ran inside to the very small lobby that seemed more like a coat check than a lobby of a 4 star hotel. I was told they did not have valet today and was given a discount coupon to the parking garage 2 blocks over. with traffic, it took us over an hour to park our car and make it back to the hotel. 
Check in was a breeze, but again, the lobby was nowhere near impressive and the service was that of a days in motel than a 4 star hotel. our room was nice, typical for New York very compact but we got a junior suite and it was the most spacious room we have stayed at in manhattan. there was also no ice maker and we needed to go down to the bar off the lobby (also not impressive) to get a cup of ice.
the location was nice, close enough to Times Square and Central Park and in a good area. for the money, not worth it. we wont consider staying here again... most likely to choose a less expensive hotel or find one that offers more for your money!
