We traveled to NYC in June of this year and were flabbergasted at the prices of hotel rooms. We found this hotel and the reviews were decent so we took a chance.
First, if you are doing touristy things in NYC, I think this is going to be the best value for your money. It is only a few blocks to Times Square in one direction and Central Park in the other. However, do not expect much!
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were impressed with the lobby. It was recently renovated and well decorated. We were not so impressed with the room however. It's obvious this hotel is old and I'm surprised how much dirt builds up when the rooms are "supposedly" cleaned every day. The staff seemed attentive but we noticed several small things that were neglected. The most obvious was when we requested a wake up call one morning. There was a recording that was meant to give the date and the weather for that day. Well we stayed in June and the recording was from September of the year prior. Also the elevators don't always work as intended so we had to wait longer than usual on several occasions.
