The fixtures, furniture, and fittings are in poor repair. Aged, unfashionable, and not in acceptable condition.

Room was small and noisy. Needs upgrade very dark and old. Needs new carpet and furnishings. Air con broke while we were there. Service man was quick to get it working but it did come away from wall. On the positive side it was central to most things.

Great location sitting on the invisible line between the insanity and crowds of downtown and where tourists and locals can breath in a more sedate pace. Lincoln Centre for theatre opera and ballet across the road - easy walk to 66th St or Columbus Circle subway. Hotel staff were always polite and helpful - room size was good for us in a king room - really hot without the window open though but would happily stay again.

NY sigtseeing

Pros: Location. Quiet. Friendly staff.
Location: Lincoln center, Times square, Central park, Carnegie hall, 5th avenue shopping
Easy access to most of the sights from Times Square to Empire State building and Central Park. Close to Lincoln center and many fine eateries. Easy transport options with subway or buses or cabs, or even a horse carriage ride in Central park.
