I was pretty happy with $199 a night for a decent hotel in mid-town NYC, and despite trying to up-sell us a bigger room (guessing they were out of the ones we had), they they gave us an upgrade to a deluxe room too, which was spacious.
Amenities were fine, there was the nice touch of free cookies delivered to the room and wi-fi and showers were clean and functional.
Don't bother having breakfast - the prices are sky high, but there are plenty of diners and bars nearby that serve good food for less money.
I was pretty annoyed when I came back to pick up my bag in a rush to get to Penn station. There were two people on reception (one serving another customer) and the woman that was free refused to go and get my bag. Seemingly she was too important for this, and I had to wait for the bellboy. This isn't an OK way to treat a customer who is rushing to get a train.
If it hadn't been for that, I would have rated the hotel much higher, but I don't need that attitude in my life and I won't be going back. Judge for yourself!
