I have stayed here just because my company is cheap enough to not put me in a better hotel. With that said, this hotel is not bad at all, but there are a few things to be aware of. The breakfast is extremely crowded in the morning, if you are in a rush, skip it and go somewhere else. People having breakfast are usually tourists which don't care about time. I have stayed in two different rooms at this hotel, both had stains on the carpet. The wi-fi is horrible and don't expect it to work with Android devices. You call the unhelp desk and they don't help you at all. I am an IT professional and they claim I don't know how to configure my device (yeah right).
The location is great, 5 minutes to Penn Station and accessible to a few subway stations. Do not, again, do not use their car service company. It is a total rip off and they charge you hidden fees that are only disclosed when you arrive at the destination and have no way to back out of the service.
The TV is LCD but no HD service, I don't understand why hotels do that.
In a nutshell.... if you are looking for cheap lodging in NYC which is close to everything and free breakfast, go for it. I would not come here in a business travel, unless your company is too cheap to put you somewhere else.
