If you're visiting New York as a tourist and just need a base with no frills (we spent five nights there), then this hotel is more than adequate and provides good value for money compared to other more centrally located Manhattan hotels.
The rooms (we chose a suite for a family of four) were clean and provided more than sufficient space.
Despite being located on the Upper West side (10/15 minute walk to Central Park), the closeness to 96th street subway more than compensates - the ride taking only between 10/15 minutes (depending on whether you get an express train or not) to reach 42nd street (Times Square) and beyond.
The Key West Diner, located next door but one, provides a convenient place to get breakfast / food in the evening if required. There are also other restaurants within a couple of blocks.
Would definitely stay there again if visiting New York in the future.
