Good location, rooms starting to show wear and tear, lower floors can be noisy
Great location right by Times Square. I stayed here for three nights in February 2012. I was on the 52nd floor which is a good thing considering the windows do not insulate very well against the noise. The room had an OK size for New York, but what was once a very modern hotel about 10 years ago is now starting to show some obvious wear and tear. The bathroom has a frosted window to the bedroom, so you get a pretty good view of what your room-mate is doing in there. Also, since the sliding door to the bathroom didn't really close completely shut, you would hear everything as well. The bar is nice, busy and trendy, with great cocktails, and the concierges are quite helpful.
