I was staying at this hotel and the photos that were offered from the agency are very good ... but it is not seen in reality.
The hotel is clean and seemingly modern at the reception but the rooms are small and dated. The bathroom is almost as big as the bed.
The air conditioning and heating are controlled from a panel with 2 manual levers (very old and noisy) although they work well. The sink looks like a prison, small and metallic.
The room faced a very noisy and dark interior courtyard that could be seen through a small window on the side of the room (it was not even centered). He fooled the huge curtain that hid it.
It has 2 central elevators. One of them seems normal (up and down) but on the fourth floor it jerks, as if collapsing. The other one, it takes like 2 minutes to close the door when it is on the ground floor and it whistles (it sounds the 'ding!') On all floors even if it does not stop. The good thing is that it is big (I imagine that because of how slow it is, people accumulate to use it).
The name of the hotel is only visible from 6 to 5 avenue. If you come from 5 it is not seen until you are just below the entrance.
The WiFi is paid, and quite expensive although there are 2 computers on the ground floor for free use.
As a positive aspect I could say that it is well located. Between 5 and 6 avenue, 2 blocks from central park and another 2 blocks from the subway that goes downtown.
