They say you get what you pay for and that is very true with the Holiday Inn on 57th. We stayed here for a week in April 2010 and while we loved the location and that we could walk anywhere we wanted with ease, the hotel is old, run down and the staff are the rudest we've ever come across in our years of travelling.
If you want a cheap(ish) hotel in a good location, this is the place, but don't expect anything too fancy or clean.
