I chose this hotel for location and price. We got a good deal for Thanksgiving holiday and loved that you can walk to Grand Central Station, Time Square, and Empire State Building. The only time we spent in the hotel was to sleep so location, cost and safety were more important than decor. This hotel met those needs. The hotel reminded me of the standards when I stay in a European run hotel rather than an American Chain. We were upgraded to a junior suite. The bathroom was the only thing remodeled. Everything else was dated (sea foam green carpet, pink floral couches) and since they were so dated while clean they looked a bit dingy. The TV was old school. The bed was comfortable. I was surprised they did not offer a printer to print out your boarding passes this seems standard in most hotels. Not the end of the world in today's smart phone existence but since printers are cheap this seems a bit silly not to offer this service. The only friendly front desk clerk we met was a woman that helped us find a couple spots the rest of the staff do seem annoyed when you approach the desk.
The reason I have this place three out of five stars is because it met our needs for cost and location but if you are planning on spending a lot of time relaxing in a hotel this may not be the place for you.
