Staying here wasn't really our choice, but was a necessity in a wider holiday context. First of all, the staff were terrific. Very friendly, very chatty, great in general.
However, the hotel itself was different. For a four star, you expect certain basics, decent room size, decent decor, lights that are able to be turned off easily and so on. None of those bare minimums were present. The rooms were quite small, not so minuscule as one would expect reading some other reviews here, but small all the same. Probably, in the bulk of the room, about 8foot by 12 foot. Not terribly cramped, but you wouldn't want to be claustrophobic. The decor was...minimalist. Bare lick of white paint on the walls, with occasional bursts of extravagant colour, in lamps that I couldn't turn off.
Again, it wasn't a long term sleeping arrangement, one night, but if your looking to stay in NY for any longer, keep away from here, on pain of cabin fever and eventual addition to the city's homicide statistics!
