good but not great.
Great location. Not too clean but no pests in sight and the maid was polite, smiling, and willing to go above and beyond for us. Motif was fun and intriguing. The staff was always ready to help.

Buy the cityPASS NYC. Saved a ton of money. Had great options. Covered almost everything we wanted to see for almost half the cost. Along with a 7 day metro card, and a centrally located hotel, we spent less in NYC than we did on the plane ride.

The worst hotel ever
When we arrived, our room was small & dark, No heating. went down to reception and complained was given another room, guess what the heating not working, enginner sent to get it working but everyday when we came back to get ready to go out for dinner the room was cold, the reason given to us daily was the the boiler was on a daily cycle. What is that all about, you should check this hotel out before you recommend to people. The hotel reception smelled of Chinese food 24 hours a day and the heaters were at least 20 years old so much for renovation. Spoilt our holiday to New York.

Just okay...
Lots of things in this hotel were not working or simply broke. They provide only 1 washcloth no matter how many times you call and ask for more. Room was supposedly and "upgrade" but was the size of a shoebox which I know is typical for NYC but this was extremely small. Not enough room in the bathroom to dry off after shower. Staff was occassionally helpful (if you caught the right person) Smoke detector in hallway started chirping at 2am. When I called front desk, was told it needed a battery. It took maintenance over 1 1/2 hrs to complete that task. A simple battery change... Will stay elsewhere next time.

the stinky tiny deluxe room with tiny what they call queen bed
we ordered the deluxe room with the queen bed thinking that we'll get somewhat a dissent room. IT WAS NOT. The room was stuffy. The air-conditiner was noisy and exrimly old. The TV was not HD as you would assume to have now days. The shower was exrimly noisy. We stayed 3 nights and they would not add on the shanpoos and stuff. The staff was extrimly not people friendly. To add on the beauty to our wonderful experience , the hotel double charged us. PEOPLE DO NOT STAY THERE. YOU'LL HATE IT.
