Wonderful location can only get you so far in this industry. This hotel is a prime example. There are lots of options in NYC and for the kind of money a hotel like this requests - you deserve certain basics. LIGHT - wow, never stayed in a place so deprived of something as simple as light. Im not speaking about the lobby or bar - sure I get that - I speaking about the rooms - and I had the opportunity to view my friends room as well - too dark. Because of confined spaces, which I understand is more common in NYC, light is essential. But lets be honest, at these rates, a little elbow room can be expected.
Canal Street is such a horrible traffic jam be sure you do NOT stay too low at this hotel as either the traffic or the club downstairs will make sleeping impossible... if youre into that. If you simply want a good location and dont care about the accommodations - this could be a good option.
Lastly, it should be noted that the staff at the hotel is very friendly and ready to assist - thats a very tough thing to get these days and to be fair was worth noting. The three stars is mostly due to value - if the room were priced differently I could have held my nose for four stars.
