Hilton usually means "high standards... for high price" type of deal.
However, you only seem to get the high price in this one. 300 dollars for a night in a mediocre room with kind of "used" furniture, without breakfast and without internet included - sorry, not a good deal by any means. If anything, the overall feeling is that of a busy 3-star hotel, from check-in to check-out.
I give 3 points only because this is NYC, so the price levels are generally higher. But one can still get better deals in central Manhattan, so the location is really not an excuse for the price. Luckily this was a business trip, so my own piggy bank did not suffer.
On the positive note - the second floor has an immense ballroom and several smaller meeting rooms... and they were all reserved for a huge salsa congress while I was there. I discovered the happening only thanks to very scantily dressed women in the elevator. Well over a thousand of people of all ages, races and dancing skill levels participated, so just watching the busy dance floor was quite an experience. So, apparently the place is well-suited for this type of massive events.
