I used to live close to this hotel and decided to try it out on a recent visit. We found a good deal on Orbitz for this room. Pros: 1 block from the B & C trains, a couple blocks from the 1 train, right across the street from the Nat History Museum, 1 block from Central Park, doorman will help you get a taxi, no bedbugs (I checked the mattresses). Cons: when we arrived in the afternoon, the windows were open (it was winter) and the heat is controlled by the building, so we made sure we closed the windows early enough to let the room heat up before bedtime; a little noisy if you are sensitive to street noise; no free wifi; staff at the front desk was not the most friendly or helpful; no robes in the rooms. Since we knew the city and where to go, the unhelpful staff did not affect us. It was a good value for a room which was a little less than $300 per night before tax.
