While the location is great, and it is very close to everything touristy you would do in NYC, the hotel does nickel and dime you for everything. Parking was fairly inexpensive for NYC at $24, but it was on 56th, not 57th where the hotel is, so we had to drive to get the car- just meant we had to coordinate to make sure someone could stay with the car and someone else could bring the bags down, since you can't park in front of the hotel on any day except Sunday (there is a bus stop right there the rest of the week).
The room was spacious for a NYC hotel, and it was also clean, though it was a no frills sort of place. Nice to have a small microwave and fridge in the room. The beds were very hard and not the most comfortable. A noon checkout is nice. There was a weird smell in the hallway and elevator, probably just because the building is so old.
Overall, a fine hotel, though I probably would not come back here unless the price was right. Over $200 for this hotel is a bit crazy, even though the location is great.
