I stayed here for a week on business. I gave this hotel an average rating because it is not poor, it is just below average. I booked a superior room. Upon arrival my room was FREEZING. The window AC (yes, WINDOW AC) was being held in place with clear, postage tape and was letting a draft in. I put a washcloth in the gap to keep the air out, then 10 min later realized at $300 a night, this was not acceptable. I asked to change rooms. Front desk was very friendly and gave me another room. NOTE: Not all rooms have window AC. Specify if you want a room with central AC/heating. The rooms are small, even by NY standards. And my room was dirty. I found M&M's on the floor and the bathroom tile was pretty dingy and had some calcium and mold buildup. Absolutely NO counter space in the bathroom. And the blow dryer seemed as if it was ready to give out. The shower water take FOUR minutes to heat up (yes, I timed it). The construction outside started promptly at 7am and I had a screaming kid and barking dog on my floor. The second floor wreaks of cigarette smoke, so if you're sensitive like me....do not stay on the second floor. The fitness center is on the second floor and I would hold my breath from the elevator to the fitness center as the smell was that strong. The elevators are SLOW. Luckily I was on the fourth floor so I took the stairs most of the time. The location is convenient and it seems as if a lot of tourists use this hotel. It was busier than I like for business stays. This hotel is also across the street from a fire station. While I did not hear the sirens, the fire trucks would still come and go creating traffic jams on 77th. The hotel is also next to a parking garage so this area has a lot of traffic. And, this hotel does not offer free wifi. The lobby is nice, but the rooms need attention. For the price and facilities, there are many other options in the area that will get you more for your money. I will not be staying here again.
