Location, location...
Yes indeed, the St Giles benefits from its excellent spot right smack near such centres of interest as the Grand Central Station -with its legendary Oyster Bar-, the Morgan Library, the Chrysler Building and the Empire State, just to name a few. But the spacious, comfortable,affordable, well appointed rooms, with nice amenities are an added drawing asset. I found the staff unfailingly courteous and helpful. The minus has been described elsewhere: the radiators do tend to clink clank clunk a bit. But I certainly would warmly recommend the St Giles.
