After reading reviews on other sites and started to panic about it, we have it a bash.

I am in agreeance that the hotel needs updated. But if you can look past that, it's a great hotel.

We had our bags collected on arrival (not used to that hospitality so thought it was great). Check in was quick and easy. Although they ask for your credit card (my hol was booked through an agency so everything was already prepaid) but this is for a security deposit (wasn't explained at the time my card would show charges, but would get them back should I return the keycards) and we went to our room.

Elevators are super fast unless you have to do various stops but there are several there.

We had the standard room, which was ample for us. Yes it had some decor flaws but bed was comfortable and we slept well.

House keeping was fab and friendly and any questions we had were answered clearly.

So would I stay here again? Course I would! I was there to see NYC for the first time and like I said, look pass the decor flaws, you have a great hotel in a prime location!
