Was in NYC for the weekend. Needed a hotel for Friday night only - and since it's the Holiday season...almost every hotel in town 3* + is $300-400 on Fri and Sat nights. So finding Astor on the Park for $210ish...was a great deal.
Quick facts:
Not within walking distance to Times Square (40 blocks away)
Right across from Central Park (very convenient)
Building is old (but isn't most of NYC?)
Staff at front desk were polite and smiling
Door locks/Beds/TV/carpet/AC unit are all out of date but functional
Bathroom was actually quite nice (nicer than bedroom)
The walls were kind of dirty
Bottoms line: for what we paid, we thought it was pretty good for a place to stay...especially due to the proximity to Central Park. I wouldn't want to stay there for any more than 3 days though.
