The Good: Location is excellent. It's close to all the shops, restaurants and the views are nice. The room is large for nyc. The bathroom is also large with decent size counter space - something that I've found lacking in most nyc hotels. The bed is comfy, and the room is clean. There's also a restaurant and small bar in the lobby area, although I didn't get a chance to go.
The Bad: There are only 2 elevators. For 46 floors. I can't tell you how long I had to wait each time I left my room. The actual room is outdated. There's a box tv that's attached to this pole. The bathroom lighting is that flourescent cheap white lighting you'd find at a Motel 6. The shower head needed fixing. The drawers in my room were all broken. There's free high speed internet but no wi-fi unless you are in the hotel lobby.
Overall - I think this hotel was recently remodelled but it seems like they focused on the lobby area, which looks new and modern. I think they probably remodeled the Penthouse suites too since I think they filmed a show up there a while ago. The room just needs to be updated, maybe decorate the walls with something, get flat screens, ipod docks, like the other nyc hotels?? I would only stay here again for the location and if the rate was super cheap.
