It's like a younger, more annoying version of Holiday Inn
I had great hopes for this place, some of which worked out, most of which didn't. 
First, the good things: the location was super convenient for my office, so that was great. The room was nicely sized and after a bit of back and forth with the front desk, I had a nice view of the Hudson River. The staff are nice and service is efficient so long as you do not ask anything out of the ordinary. As a Kimpton in-touch member, the $15 in mini bar credit was very welcome. The bedding and furnishings were very comfortable. 
Now for the disappointments. First, I booked a room with a view of the Hudson River. I did this because I knew I'd be working in my room over the weekend and couldn't bear a view of a brick wall or a car park. What did I get when I checked in at 11:30 PM? A room with a view of a car park and a pile of garbage that someone had chucked from the rooms upstairs. I called the front desk and they apologized but made no effort to make amends or to refund the difference between what I paid for and what I received. The next day, it took a great deal of effort to get the manager to switch my room - but again, nothing but a hollow apology. 
Later in the week, I asked to speak to the concierge. I spoke to someone who showed me his "Concierge" badge. I asked where I could get a martini and a steak. He told me that he was a vegetarian and didn't know. He did offer to look on Google for me. As I have access to Google as well, I didn't bother to take him up on it. Perhaps his badge should say "Vegetarian-only concierge". 
Kimpton, here's a message for you: calling your under trained staff "concierge" is insulting to those of us who have had contact with the real thing. It's also an insult to the real concierges out there. Cutting corners by hiring young and very inexperienced staff who know nothing about the city they work in is not doing you any favors. 
More annoyances: the restaurant tacks 18% onto all bills at breakfast. At dinner, they charge $6 for a pitcher of tap water. The elevators are slow and since there is no service elevator, I ended up sharing the ride with loads of dirty sheets on multiple occasions. This does not change at night, when they rope off one of the elevators to ferry non-guests (and guests alike, I suppose) to their rooftop club, which is loud enough to disturb the dead. 
If you prefer a hotel with trained staff, look elsewhere. If you aren't fond of businesses that can't decide whether they are nightclubs or hotels, look elsewhere. If you'd like to be sure that you're getting what you paid for, again, look elsewhere. 
For what it's worth, this was my second and last visit to this hotel.
