In the interest of full disclosure, I booked the room through Priceline for a steal. The room was very nice, although tiny. When looking at the fire exit map on the back of the door, it appeared to be far smaller than any other room. It contained a queen-size bed, and there was about 2-3 feet of space around the bed. It was difficult for both of us to be getting dressed at the same time and we had to store our luggage in the closet. The bathroom was also small and could only accomodate one person at a time.
That being said, we were very happy with our stay. The location is excellent and very close to a subway stop. The few interactions we had with staff were also excellent. We were charged for eating an item from the minibar and it was removed without question upon our request. We also received a late check-out.
The bed was extremely comfortable. I should mention that we were a little paranoid about bedbugs since they've been in the news so much lately. We stripped the mattress and scrutinized it very closely and it looked brand new, which put our minds at ease.
Our room was quiet with the exception of the house-keeping staff chatting in the hallways in the late morning. The doors were not well sound-insulated so conversations in normal tones could be clearly heard. As mentioned by some other reviewers, the hvac system was a bit loud, but it was a white noise, although it did cycle on and off.
We also felt very safe as the elevators are activated by room keys, and a security guard was stationed by the elevators in the evenings to make sure that everyone had a room key.
