I found a wonderful rate for this hotel on Gazooba, only $79! Being a solo traveler frequently and sometimes arriving at night, I was happy to find this hotel was close to the 79th Street Subway (two blocks) and the street was well-lit and a decent area.
The room was nice and modern. The bathtub was not clean like I would have liked. In fact, I found a hair ball hanging from the tile! How could the cleaning staff miss that? Unacceptable!
The remote was missing (only one was in the room but the TV required two). It was a nice large flat screen, however, and was fine once the engineer brought up the other remote.
The minibar was high tech. Had not seen one like that. There were snacks on top of it, but DO NOT eat them. There was no list of prices for the snacks or water, and when I called the front desk, they said $9 for the water! I didn't even ask about the M&M's or snickers. Probably $5!
The bed was super comfortable, it was quiet all night, and I loved the paintings and carpet in the hallways. I did not tour the hotel or see the terrace, fitness center or business center. I'm sure it was fine. Oh, and there didn't seem to be an ice bucket or ice maching (but it is possible there were somewhere).
I would definitely stay there again because of the area (lots of restaurants nearby) and the modern feel of the hotel.
