I live an hour outside of NYC-but stay a few times a year in the city. I am very picky w/ cleanliness and hotels in NYC just plain SCARE ME.
The rooms do NOT look like the website though beware. They are extremely small and older. But the lobby/entrance is breathtaking so that makes up for some of their shortcomings. Not a bad value for NYC.
SIDENOTE:
BEST HOTEL IN NYC? Millenium Hilton in the Financial District. Clean, spacious and beautiful. Worth the taxi ride anywhere.
