unfortunatelly, the bedbugs still there!!!
The hotel is nicely located, 5 block from the subway, and 7 from 5th av.
Yes, the furnitures are old, and it will be nice if some more cutlery was added to the kitchen.
Up to know it wasn't so bad....but there is really a bugbed infestation!!! I stay ay the 24 A (second tower), pls, check the matress (avoid the sofa, that's were my 6 yr old son sleeps! and the place where you keep your luggage (wardrobe). 
Yes stuf are friendly and the view from the bar is amazing......but I HATE BUGS!!!!!
