I stayed in a few midrange and higher-end hotels that were good value in NYC that I would recommend, but this hotel, with a great lest minute deal, stood out as as superior to them all. Booked a standard room, but still had a city view. The entire outside wall was a window. The bathroom/shower was very modern and the king bed was super comfortable. Superior selection of TV options, including MAX. Rooms were very quiet with I think concrete walls between the rooms. You could tell they put a lot of effort to design a higher-end room experience in the smaller spaces that NYC hotels afford.
