Comfortable stay
Overall, I would heartily recommend this as a base from which to explore the city.
Stayed here for a few days. Though not very large, the room was comfortable. Lighting a little dim. Cool rotating shower head. 
Short walk to the subway, good restaurants, and Central Park. 
Staff were cheerful and friendly without being pushy and condescending as can happen in NYC.
Good and free wifi.
The only thing I don't understand in a hotel of this caliber is a heating/cooling system that works without a thermostat. You have to keep waking up at night to turn the heating off and on as it simply blows air steadily like a fan.
Try the Italian restaurant next door (Bettola) for good pizza and a wonderful chocolate cake.
