Not 4-star quality!
We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights; 3 of the hottest nights in NYC so far this summer. The A/C is old and did not work! Room was humid and musty-smelling. Upon checking in, hotel computer was "down" and it was 3 hours before we could check in. Hotel outdated, dark decor and dirty. Room carpets are filthy, pubic hair on bathroom floor and sheets on bed dirty. Apparently, prior to our checking into our room, the wall was painted. No one bothered to put a "wet paint" sign anywhere, and my fiancé got paint on two of his slacks! Although the management did give us two drink vouchers and breakfast buffet vouchers, I didn't feel that was enough to compensate for ruining two pairs of slacks. Rooftop pool very small, and rooftop bar loud and a very young crowd. If you're young and looking to stay in a "party" hotel, this is your place. If not, I would not recommend it! Being in NYC, for the money per night, my suggestion is find a nicer hotel for the same price. Maybe the W? 
The only positive aspect of our stay was that the hotel is in a fantastic location, across from Limcoln Center, close to subway stations, and near many great restaurants, cafes and lounges.
