New York is expensive. This is a definite compromise. Hotel location is in a perfect location, right by the Subway, Empire State and not too far from Times Square and Broadway Theatres.
This has nothing to do with the Hotel, but we made the mistake of booking the Shuttle Service (Super Shuttle) through Expedia, from the Airport to the Hotel. IT IS TERRIBLE. The drivers treated us like cattle, and jibbered away on their mobile phones whilst driving very dangerously (even for New York standards). Avoid if you can.
Hotel itself excellent. We originally got a room without a view, that smelt of smoke. We called the Front Desk and they apologised profusely and moved us to a room with a great view. Room very comfortable, only small downside is the sound proofing isn't great. But a minor compromise really.
All in all recommended!
