Stayed a night at this hotel in July 2008 - and had a decent enough experience. The location is good, on the corner of 45th and Madison, it's definitely at the centre of things if that is what you want from your New York Hotel.
The bedroom was fairly small, and the bathroom also. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The TV was very modern but the rest of the furnishing were quite old.
I wouldn't normally comment on something as trivial as a lift, but for some reason the lifts in this hotel were achingly slow, and very old also.
Overall, ok, but I wouldn't be rushing back here in a hurry.
One thing to note- the concierge will try and sell you a car to JFK for $73 - don't take it - taxis have a flat rate of $45 + toll + tip (so around $60). And you can get a private car for around the same rate.
