New Yorker Hotel Feb 2012
Even though I made a booking online it still took at least 20 minutes (after queuing for 1/2hour) to get checked in.
The location around the hotel although in vicinity of Javit centre (about 15 minutes brisk walk) was a bit rundown, but it is close to a big station so that is expected.
The hotel was really nice but in a foregone era, now it needs refurbishment and upgrades. 
Don't include breakfast in your rate it is horrible, fatty and in a Route 66 restaurant open 24hrs (not sure when the clean) everything was always sticky!
The rooms was really small, even though we took one with a view (you could see the river if you checked carefully) so we upgraded to a bigger one which is more expensive but really just looking into other buildings.
The hotel is impersonal, big and extremely busy. Everything is charged extra, the rooms are old but clean. The bathrooms is really old, still with shower curtains (sorry I hate those)! Showers are inside an extremely small bath and very slippery.
The toiletpaper is located behind the door, and once you sit on the toilet you cant close the door you have to get up since the bathroom is so small. 
Definitely not for families, 
Maybe for a business person, the wireless was also very slow but at least for free!
I will not stay here again, for the price I found it really disappointing.
