This hotel is striking when you walk in and you can tell the people at reception know that!!! The lighting is slightly annoying but makes it look cool so thats fine. The location is really fantastic, you cannot get lost and can easily walk to all the main shopping/eating places (the subway is also across the road). The room was very small but to be honest it didnt bother us as much as other people on here. There were a couple of issues with the bathroom plumbing which were sorted out fairly quickly but the really big issue was the noise - we had to wear ear plugs until around 4am for quite a few nights because of the club downstairs. We ate at the hotel cafeteria one night which has a great feel to it but was not worth the expense when there are so many restaurants in New York (around £130 for 2 courses and 2 drinks!!). Overall, our trip to New York was so great that we put up with some of the issues but we wouldnt stay there again. ps. i have also found out today that they have just added a random charge of about £30 to my bill a few days after we checked out for no apparent reason....apparently they are famous for this.
