Stayed two nights on a business trip. Efficient check-in and check-out. For the corporate rate paid, the room was larger than similarly priced Manhattan hotels. No restaurant except for breakfast but you are surrounded by better choices than a hotel restaurant. Located at the corner of 51st and Lexington with subway access on the same corner. The bar is small and offers burgers and sandwiches in the evening. Flat screen TV worked well.
Able to work in the room with a generously sized desk and office style chair which wasn't great but ok. Wireless internet was $16.95 per day and worked well with my company's VPN. A slower speed internet was available at a $2.00 discount.
Despite being street side, room was relatively quiet. Could tell big difference in noise level when opened window to get cooler air (window allowed to slide sideways about 4 - 5 inches.) First day was a warm day in November and only the heat was available. The HVAC system does not allow individual choice of running heat or air conditioning. You have individual room controls but in the winter, the HVAC system will not produce cooler air.
