We needed this hotel to be near a medical conference at NYU. In that way it was great, just a few blocks up the street. Lots of nice shops, delis, etc in the area. The bed was delicious, reminded me of European hotel beds with the big down quilt. Nice to have a safe in the room, too.
BUT - we arrived Friday afternoon and the first hot water was Sunday morning. Staff grudgingly said the repairman was on the way and we might have believed them except for the guy checking out who had been there for three days beforehand and had NO HOT WATER.
You can't get ice, you have to ask for it. Just what I wanted - tipping for ice in a budget hotel.
Bathroom's bizarre, and we nearly fell every time we walked out of the bathroom because the floor tilted so badly.
Also, when the advert said "parking," we weren't ready to pay nearly $70 for the lot across the street. That's from Fri. nite to Sun. morning. And an extra charge for having an Envoy. sigh. At least the car was safe.
I will look for another hotel next time, even if it means being farther away.
