To make it simple: great base to explore New York as a tourist but pretty much everything else was disapointing. The hotel rooms need a serious facelift as they look very tired, dirty and gloom even in July... So if you are out and about all the time than it's OK but you aren't going to be thrilled when you come back in. It would have deserved an Average grade but ... our room wasn't ready until 5, we weren't offer any compensation until shouting loud enough, apparently fixing a broken room phone takes more than 7 days in New York, and several time we ended up with only one towel in the bathroom.
So if you get a big discount then take it otherwise there are plenty of hotels around there to look at...
