Convenient, comfortable, and cheap.
I spent the weekend in NYC with two friends from college and since we're used to crashing on floors and couches on a regular basis, we weren't expecting much for the price we paid for the room. Let me just say that we were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We shared a junior suite and there was more than enough room for the three of us. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was FANTASTIC and the hotel is located on a very quiet street. The kitchenette was perfect for storing alcohol and leftovers. As many people have already said, the rooms are a little dated, but that was only a minor drawback that didn't really matter to us. Some people might be annoyed that Times Square is about 10-15 minutes away on foot, but, again, it didn't bother us and it's definitely doable if you don't have anyone in your group with mobility issues. If you're young, traveling with friends, looking for something cheap, don't need many amenities and don't plan on doing much in the room besides showering and sleeping, this is the perfect place for you.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
Every kind of restaurant, cafe, and deli is within three or four blocks of the hotel. There's a fantastic grocery store around the corner and a nice wine/liquor shop about two blocks away, too. If, for whatever reason, none of the restaurants around the hotel appeal to you, check out Grand Central. There are a bunch of great places to eat in there, plus the building is incredible and it's worth a visit for that reason alone.

Awful
The television, which we might have lived with, was substandard, and couldn't be seen from the bed, which we also might have lived with. There was no wifi (unheard of in this day and age) except in the lobby, which we reluctantly were living with. The water in the shower didn't stay the same temperature for more than 30 seconds, which we also might have lived with. But the blanket had stains [...]-distusting--and that we couldn't live with. We called the front desk, but because it was after 11:30 pm, the desk clerk said he couldn't bring us up a clean one but wanted us to come down. We refused. The next morning we spoke with the day supervisor who was very sweet and understood why we left. We did not have to pay for the stay, which was also nice. But I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, even if they upgrade and get wifi. Unsanitary conditions are beyond the pale.

another stay
I use this hotel because once a month I try to run a race in Central Park because I used to live in NYC and now that I am retired I have moved upstate and I miss running races in the park. I would love to come more often but sometimes the price of the room is just TOO expensive!

Plenty of space
Lots of space for the price in a midtown location. Parking charges at local garages are very high. Better to check that online in advance as well.

Excellent value!!
This hotel was perfect. It was a decent distance from the busy-ness of Times Square, Herald Square, etc and every night when we returned, we appreciated the tree-lined streets and less bustle in the neighbourhood. There were many delicatessants and grocery stores nearby where we could pick up breakfast supplies for the morning and snacks. The kitchen in the suite was really a plus!!!! (I love my coffee first thing in the morning.) The suites were large and kept very clean. The price point was perfect! I would definitely return to this hotel on my return visit.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
There were no dining facilities in the hotel but great eateries were nearby to suit every budget and taste preferences. It was easy to eat healthy and lean but if you wanted to indulge, you could do that too.
