About the equivalent of a $130/night hotel elsewhere. Small and crowded for the price. No pool, tho' we expected that. Cheap Starbucks coffee. No complimentary breakfast: dining room runs $30 for 2 fried eggs or $17 for a bowl of oatmeal and up. Small TV, no guide: you scroll through every channel to find something to watch. Long waits for the elevator: If you're on one of the lower floors you’re better off getting on when it’s going up and waiting for it to go down again, as it’s always filled to capacity by the time it gets down to the 15th floor. Room was clean, but there were a couple of tiny bloodstains on the sheet. No freezer, just a drink refrigerator. No microwave. If you want a view be sure to request a room on the front of the building.
Beware: the price quoted on Hotels.com does not include a $33/night resort fee. A large icon states “What you see is what you pay!” but that's NOT true. The confirmation email mentions the resort fee, but don’t be fooled by the line “We have included all charges provided to us by the property,” which does NOT mean that you already the resort fee.
What it does have is location. Close to Central Park, Times Square, Broadway, Carnegie Hall, MoMA, lots of restaurants, delis, &c. North/south subway stations are inconvenient but within walking distance. If you want an acceptable hotel in a good midtown location, it’s not a bad option. I think if we’d researched better we might have found a better hotel in our actual price range, though.
