As NEw York hotels go it wasnt all that bad, a very cool club lounge feeling reception and bar area, not too badly priced drinks either, but the rest of the hotel looks better in pictures than in reality.
Room was exceptionally small, "changing rooms" style makeover of an otherwise dull room, bathroom was tiny and rough around the edges. Also needed a good clean, dust was caked onto the basin pipe work, the loo roll holder and shelving. Water dripped out of the shower, took an age to wash but pleanty of hot water.
Wifi was good speed but not free, and to be honest somewhat expensive too. No shock it wasnt free, city hotels in America these days seem to charge for everything - wifi ought to be on tap like hot water, its shameful in my opinion to pay for something as basic as this when you pop to Starbucks and its free with your coffee!
Beds were however very comfy, big fluffy pillows and duvets, a very nice matress topper and the towels were also very fluffy.
All in all not too bad, not too great, the rooms let down an otherwise funky looking hotel in a good location for midtown attractions. Would i go back there? No. The price for location i can forgive, value for money its not. The rooms are simply too small, not of a quality of the communal areas and there are better places for the same price or less. It did its job for a few nights but id hunt something else out for next time, but id probably go use the bar for a drink as its pretty nice and really great staff serving.
