I booked this hotel for $95 per night which included an "I Love New York" gift package. Arrived around 3:00pm to find just one person at the reception desk, which I think is odd given this is prime check in time. Had to wait a longer period of time than normal. Was given a room on the 24th floor. The room appeared to be one of the renovated rooms as it had what I call a platform bed and there was a nice tv in the room. I'm not a fan of these low beds and it wasn't that comfortable. What made it worse for me is that I couldn't figure out how to set the temperature in the room - I like it very cool, almost cold and it was warm in the room.
Since my room was prepaid and there is no restaurant in the hotel, I couldn't figure out why the hotel needed to place a hold on a credit card, but that is a minor issue. What bothered me more was the $14.95 per day for wi-fi and the $5.00 minimum charge to access the internet from the computers in the lobby. Fortunately, I found a FedEx a couple blocks away that only charged $.30 a minute with no minimum.
I did like how you had to enter your floor number into a key pad to be directed to the appropriate elevator and the front desk staff was polite. The clerk did confuse me when I checked out because she asked if I wanted to keep my room charge on the same credit card, but I had prepaid. I finally figured out she was giving me the option to pay cash and then receive a refund to the credit card.
The location is perfect if you want to be near Times Square and the Theater District.
