Nice! But use the Silencio Soundcheck before you go! Its an easy Chrome extension that tells you how loud a place is BEFORE you go!

We were sent here from another hotel due to overbooking. We stayed one night and that was plenty. The hotel is remodeling, which is good because it’s very outdated and worn. Our room shared a wall with the (very slow) elevators and we could hear them going up and down all night. Hallways were noisy and we could hear everything said as people… Read more
We were sent here from another hotel due to overbooking. We stayed one night and that was plenty. The hotel is remodeling, which is good because it’s very outdated and worn. Our room shared a wall with the (very slow) elevators and we could hear them going up and down all night. Hallways were noisy and we could hear everything said as people passed our room. The staff at check-in weren’t overly friendly, but they were fast. The lobby smelled nice, but the rest of the hotel smelled a bit musty. The room, other than needed an update, was clean and fine for one night. The blow dryer took a while to heat up and then smelled like fire when it final blew hot air. The location was close to Times Square, which was a plus. Read less

First, the positives: large room and pleasant room attendants. That's it! Negatives: old, rundown, drab, noisy AC, long waits for lifts (one not working), the list is long. Check-in process was a nightmare. An amount of US$600 was taken for the express purpose of being placed on hold until a problem with our prepaid accommodation voucher… Read more
First, the positives: large room and pleasant room attendants. That's it! Negatives: old, rundown, drab, noisy AC, long waits for lifts (one not working), the list is long. Check-in process was a nightmare. An amount of US$600 was taken for the express purpose of being placed on hold until a problem with our prepaid accommodation voucher issued by our travel agent was resolved (it had been issued with an incorrect name). Once this was resolved later that day, was told emphatically by the Duty Manager that this amount would not be charged. At check-out, this was reflected in the invoice as only State taxes, etc had been charged and there was no mention of the US$600. On arrival back in Australia, found an amount of US$554.88 had in fact been debited to my credit card. Attempts to contact the hotel via phone and email have met with silence. Not even the courtesy of an acknowledgement. How an amount like this can be charged, when the accommodation had been prepaid, is gobsmacking and so, so wrong! It is clearly an accounting error that could be remedied very simply but it seems management cannot be bothered as all attempts by myself and the travel agent have been ignored and leaves me no option but to write this review.
