Visited NY with my boyfriend during Valentine's Day weekend and stayed at the Marrakech Hotel. If driving into NY, the Marrakech is ideally located since it is in the Upper West Side area (so you don't have to deal with driving downtown). Plus, there is a parking garage close by (located at 101st - between Broadway and Amsterdam) that is reasonably priced. Another bonus is that the number 1 subway stop is just a couple of steps from the hotel.
As for the hotel: we stayed in a room with a 'queen' size bed. I have to warn you that their 'queen' is actually a double-sized bed. The room was small but clean. Don't expect anything too fancy - and bring hair conditioner if you use it because the hotel only provides shampoo. The walls are thin and so you can hear everything. The first night, we slept horribly because we were woken up by slamming doors and people in the hallway. Also, we were unlucky to have a room where the was a water pipe right by the bed so we had to deal with water draining/dripping throughout the night. Secone night we slept with earplugs and that solved the problem.
People at the front desk were friendly and helpful but they didn't seem to be able to give many suggestions with regards to good restaurants or things to do. The hotel does provide several useful maps upon arrival which is nice. (I highly recommond trying the Sook - thai restaurant - that is a couple of doors away from the hotel).
When checking out - know that the hotel charges $2 per piece of luggage (for large luggage - carry-ons are free) if you need to leave them with the front desk.
