I should have planned ahead
Mediocre New York hotel. I'm used to paying the usual exorbitant rate, but shame on me for not planning ahead. You can do way, way better with a boutique hotel over this one. Looks to be some refurbishment going on, so maybe it'll pick up afterwards.
Decent location, near the park, but there's a number of options as close or closer and for the sake of a few blocks' walk, you'll have plenty to choose from.
Tip... turn down the heating to kick out cool air the minute you get in the room. They have it set to 'sauna' for some reason. 
Next time I'll plan ahead.
