Midtown Holiday Inn a shocker
JUST OK We were on the road side, a bit noisy and also right across from the elevator :( 
The room had mould and the walls and floors were soaked. We think the room next to us air conditioner was leaking - however, we didn't spend anytime in the room. We booked through hotwire and maybe that is why our room was in a bad space in the hotel and in bad condition. I do not know if that was the case...I do not know the quality of other rooms in this hotel either. This is why we were unable to change our reservation. IF the room rate was cheaper and reflected the hotel status my rating would be higher. Yes the lady in the front desk threw our papers at us and did not say Hi or welcome to the holiday inn or anything that you would expect. The pool staff were very good. The cleaning staff did a good job. The location of the hotel was good, 9th has lots to offer. It is close to central park as well.
