Stayed here for 4 nights during the freakishly cold Easter holidays. Hotel is in an excellent location with easy access to public transport (bus & subway) - don't bother with the hop-on, hop-off bus. For a fraction of the price you can get a day 'fun pass' metrocard which allows you unlimited rides on the buses and subway (and the drivers don't expect a tip evey time you want to get off!). Buy in subway station.
Close to many attractions - attached to cinema with another across the road, Madame Tussauds, Broadway and Times Square. Great deli attached (Europan) which is open almost 247 - very cheap with a great variety of food - cheescakes were excellent.
Had a drink in Bar 10 one evening which was expensive, but so is drinking anywhere in New York. Steakhouse also seemed quite pricey.
Reception desk very friendly and helpful and room very comfortable. Great shower (but tiny bath) and temperature control for room. Despite being in the thick of things the room was nice and quiet in the evening - we were on the 15 floor. Never had to wait for a lift as the hotel has 2 sets of lifts - one for floors up to 23 and the other set for 24 to top (44ish).
Only hiccup was that we had to wait 40 mins for bags to be colllected upon checkout, but they did store them for us for the rest of the day as our return flight wasn't until late.
Would definitely stay here again if in New York.
