The good- location, no doubt. You can walk to half of Manhattan, and take the train to the rest.
The bad- The room layouts are just dumb. The one full-length mirror in my room was placed in such a position that I could not get a full length view of myself. No in-room dining post 10 pm. No slippers, no bathrobes in the room. No mini-bar. The 24 hour "market" shop sucks, so if you get up early or come back late, you are restricted to eating the hotdog from the cart outside the hotel. Wifi is not free. Not even basic instant coffee/tea packs or a kettle...
The ugly- Well, there isn't any ugly as such. But for a business or personal traveler, there are a lot of things you expect from a supposedly nice NYC hotel in this price range. Of my group of ~8 colleagues, pretty much everyone thought the hotel was not even worth a second look were it not already paid for by the company. Stay away, and find a nicer hotel elsewhere!
