Great Location; Fantastic View
This was a fabulous hotel. We got this hotel with an online price bidding website. What a wonderful deal! I would definitely pay for the hotel next go-round vs. a bidding website to ensure we received the same hotel. 
We were upgraded to two queens vs. one king. The clerk said we would enjoy more -- larger room. What a gem! We were given a corner room looking directly over Manhatten's skyline (will load pics later). The pictures from the room were some of the best of a NY visit. Subway in front of the hotel - ideal. Lots of restaurants nearby - La Preta (or something like that) was a great find. We walked to Staten Island Ferry at night from the hotel, and we felt completely safe. Large bathroom -- but we didn't stay in the room much.
