I stayed here as a lower priced against very high NYC hotel rates around the holidays. On the plus side, my room on the 35th floor was quiet and nicely sized (bathroom especially was 'normal' compared to some Midtown places). Room is advertised as "twin double beds" which is accurate - they are not queen sized beds so if you're trying to double-up to split costs, it will be cramped.
Minuses: bed mattresses are "Motel 6" quality, those hard ones with an almost non-existent mattress pad. Linens are clean, but aged. Very lightweight blankets and pillows - all very low quality. Also, although the curtains are black-out curtains, they do not seal out light along the perimeters so the flashing neon lights of Times Square are mildly bothersome.
Bottom line - this place is clean, quiet, and well located. It is, however, dated and shows signs of management 'economizing.' With a bit more effort and management investment, this is easily a 4-star hotel.
