Simple friendly hotel with a above Avg location
Recently stayed at the hotel for 5 days. I enjoyed the stay and for the price it was a value , hes sometime $300 a night is cheap in NYC. I booked thru hotels.com and had a petite room , yes it was small so so small , but doe my purposes and the price it was fine. Upon checking in I inquired about an upgrade which was avaiable the next day so all in I was paying $325 + tax (and yes plan on an additional 20% for the taxes) The second room on floor 9 was bigger and was very nice. I was given a WIFI Access code and the room was in working order and clean. 
The hotel has a nice lounge on floor 10 with a open sun deck , wifi for me was free and worked fine .... AC was fine as well ....
The hotel has no restaurant but next door is INOTECA a great wine bar .....
The location was great 20 blocks from Times SQ , 5 blocks from Union Sq and 2 blocks from Madison Sq Park. and 30 min stroll to Chinatown and Little Italy ......
