We were underwhelmed by this hotel. The first room was smelly, but staff moved us to a room that did not smell. The hotel is in a state of disrepair and clear lack of maintenance. For example enamel was chipped from the tub, walls needing painting, garbage right next to ice machine, broken elevator buttons etc. Housekeeping staff tended to forget things - such as not replacing towels left on the floor or leaving dirty cleaning cloths in the room. The location is in a very central location, walking distance to Times Square and other attractions - but is very expensive for a mediocre hotel. One great thing is the service was typically very fast - a call to the front desk for anything and they would send someone to the room typically in 5 minutes.
