Truly a beautiful lobby entrance - dimly lit with many alcoves for solitude or love. But the front desk was EXTREMELY slow and not terribly concerned about that fact. This is one of the few hotels where not a single room was ready before the 3 PM check in time. There was little manifest effort to try to accommodate me otherwise. The room itself was quite small and not terribly intelligently laid out. It was clean and comfortable, but by no means special. The tiny laptop desk had NO OUTLETS nearby to plug stuff in. There were virtually no drawers, no minifridge, etc in my standard room.
The location is 1 block from Columbus Circle at Central Park. This was fine for me, but it is by no means a Times Square location. The subway was 1/2 block away; I liked that.
I would stay there again if there was a deal for less than $180/night. Otherwise, I don't think it was worth it.
