Basic but clean with a great location and great cafe!
Stayed at this hotel for four nights at the beginning of Dec 2012. 
This hotel is 10-15 minute walk to every thing touristy . . .Times Square, Grand Central Station, Empire State Building and Rockefeller Centre. Subway Station is only 5 mins away. 
The hotel adjoins to Captains Cafe, Tony and his wife who run the cafe are really nice people, make you feel very welcome and do an excellent breakfast. 
We had a room on the 6th floor and there is only one small lift so sometimes it was quicker to walk up/down. The room was clean and bigger than I had expected, there was no wardrobe but there was a clothes rail type thing for hanging your bits and bobs. We had free Wi-Fi in our room which was really handy! Our room overlooked the street but it wasn't too noisy in the evening. To be honest, we were only in it to sleep so it was perfect for what we needed!!
