We ended up with this hotel through a Priceline request of 3 star hotels.
This was NOT a 3 star hotel. We understood that New York City prices are generally way out of whack with what you get elsewhere, but the hotel seems to be pretty run down.
Having read other reviews we heard they were amidst renovations, so we tried to get a revamped room. The first room was a sardine can, so we moved to a room with 2 beds (my wife and I slept apart because the beds were so small). The updated room seemed to have a slightly newer bathroom, but not much else.
Problems we had:
- strange smell in room
- screaming kids across hall (not hotel's fault) but since the halls are so small and walls thin, you can hear alot.
- window shade didn't go down letting sunlight in early
- weak shower pressure
On the bright side - the staff was very courteous and the location is good for tourists.
Long and short - DON'T USE PRICELINE FOR HOTELS. We ended up checking out a night early b/c the hotel was so beneath our expectations (and what we paid for), and Priceline has given us nothing but trouble with customer service. Their ratings for hotels have no merit, and their treatment of customers is beneath terrible.
