Clearly, the location is what books this hotel as the building itself was in dire need of a complete redo. We arrived to find a small, old, room with a non-functioning a/c. After two rooms (all in the same stack) the second smelling like they tried to cover up vomit, and being told "we are all sold out" we move to a third room. Again, no a/c - the maintenance guy coming to the third room stating the a/c was beyond repair and so old and the lamp broken he went down to the front desk. Mysteriously, the sold out hotel had a 1 bedroom suite on the 17th floor available and that's where we stayed for three days. The suite was huge, clean and decent and had three working a/c units. The staff were very accommodating including letting us check out at 3pm and in moving us around.
The place was packed with student groups and others and Korean Air A380 crew. I get you are not in NYC to stay in a hotel, but even at their price its still a LOT of money and those small rooms are not even what you would expect at a Super8 - thankfully I used my starwood points for this stay.
