LOCATION ABOVE AVERAGE!!!
The location is amazing...It is really easy to look past any cons with the absolutely amazing location!! You are steps from the NRQ subway...5 minutes to Central Park, 5 minutes to Times Square, lined street with Delis and shops. 10 minutes to hot Columbus shopping or 5th avenue in the opposite direction.
Pros outside of great location:
City House morning bfast items are good and affordable (although Fluffy's across the street is really really good too)
Rooms are good size
Water was warm
Housekeeping seemed good
Allowed early check in
Cons:
Elevators are C-R-A-Z-Y.
Dated but not terrible
Windows are thin
Never really employees around like other "upscale" hotels
Front Desk guy at check in was rude
Cannot control temp of room
Charged in Business Center $5 to print out boarding passes
Charged to keep bags $3.75 per bag I beleive
In NYC, unless you are spending time in your room...location is key..because of this...I would highly suggest this location...=)
