I was a little concerned when booking after reading some of the reviews, but after staying at the hotel I believe the negative reviews were way too harsh. It is an older hotel and could use a little renovation but I guarantee if they did the renovations, the room rates would go up dramatically. The accommodations were good, room was clean, bed was comfortable, location was AWESOME, and the price was very reasonable for New York. If you are looking for a Marriott-type hotel, stay at a Marriott (and expect to pay twice as much). If you are looking for a nice, reasonably priced hotel with a great location that is perfect for a busy New York vacation, I highly recommend this hotel. I would definitely book here again.
