We recently stopped for 4 nights in this hotel. It is ideally situated for sight seeing - within walking distance of Broadway, Times Square, Empire State Building, 5th Avenue, Central Park, Grand Central Station, etc.
The hotel is modern and clean. Staff very pleasant. The room was comforable with a useful kitchenette, including a dishwasher! On arrival we could not work the safe (which was free) and within 5 minutes of ringing reception, someone came to sort it out.
The complimentry breakfast was the usual USA-style breakfast, and the dining room did get very busy at popular times, but you can take your food up to your room.
In the evening there was free wine and beer and nibbles - it was help yourself and you could have as much as you wanted - a nice touch.
The hotel is on a slightly run down side street, although there are 3 hotels together, and if you just crossed the road you did avoid an adult shop and a Parole centre, although we did not have any trouble with any one and felt perfectly safe walking down it after the first evening.
We paid a little more for a room on the 30th floor, which provided great views, and it was a little quieter up there - NY is 24/7 sirens, honking car horns, etc!
I would certainly recommend this hotel.
