A nice hotel in a central but not very attractive location
Me and my wife spent a 7 day holiday in New York in March 2012.
The hotel is in a central location with easy access to the subway, and the Port Authority Bus Station (buses from and to Newark Airport, and Woodbury Commons). The public areas of the hotel are fine, and the rooms - although pretty small - are very nice.
The staff at the reception are friendly and helpful.
The area surrounding the hotel is very noisy, and can be dodgy at night. Although we did not have any incidents to report, the overall feel and look was rather unpleasant.
Moreover, the level of the noise is quite high (even in higher floors, since constructions are taking place).
