We stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon at it is a pretty reasonable hotel in a very good location of new york. Couple of blocks away from the empire states building.
The hotel was getting a complete overall when we were there so it's difficult to say what this will be like when it's finished - or if the price is so reasonable - originally we were given a double room on the 26th floor but the noise from the construction was pretty horendus! There were people staying on this floor too so if you do book make sure you know what floor they're refurbishing at the time - We were transfered though up to a suite which was really nice and far away from the noise. The staff were really really nice about this - and I don't think this was solely to do with our honeymoon either.
If you're getting the plane into Newark then take the shuttle train to Pennsilvania station from the airport. Works out way cheaper - pennsilvania station is very walkable - about 2 blocks from what I can remember and the $30 odd for two tickets on the train is way cheaper than the cost of a taxi.
Some of this review sounds a bit negative with the reburbishment and all but as long as you request a floor where it's not happening you wouldn't even know it was on. It;s a great hotel in a great location (and great city!) so would thouroughly recommend it. The decor is a bit dated but it's clean and the new lick of paint and furniture will probably make it top notch!
