I stayed at the St. Giles Tuscany over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. I booked it using Priceline and the the price was very good. This hotel used to be the W Tuscany and had just changed about 4 weeks before we stayed there.
The rooms are very large for Manhattan, but the hotel is a little worn. The bathroom was average at best and only one elevator was in operation and I saw no one actually working on repairing the second.
Priceline rates this as a 4 star hotel, but I would place it more along the lines of a 3 to 3.5 star hotel. The location is excellent just a few blocks from Grand Central and easy walking distance to Times Square and the Theater District. The staff were very cordial and helpful. This hotel has many smoking rooms and we had to pay extra to have a non smoking room which bothered me quite a bit, had my wife been with me this would have been a deal breaker for this hotel.
Overall it was a good experience and value since I used priceline to win a low rate. I would not pay the regular going rate for this hotel as there are too many better and less expensive options in the city.
