Just to clear up the confusion caused by the conflicting (and some rather dubiously effusive) reviews on this website: this hotel has NO room service, NO free internet, and it's NOT a Starwood property any longer. There is no bar and no restaurant in the evening.
The hotel full of holiday groups for whom it's probably fine, but I was here alone on a business trip and the $373 a night I was charge is simply a rip-off.
The hotel is generally tatty, with remnants of its former glory visible but it's in dire need of a make-over. The attempt to tart up the lobby only serves to emphasise the poor state of the place elsewhere. The breakfast buffet is pretty good and not too bad for New York at $22 + tip.
If you're coming on a package holiday this hotel serves its purpose, but for any other reason - stay away!
