6. I'd return there every time I'm in Manhattan, if it weren't for this reality: The hotel is located in one of the busiest neighborhoods of the city, overlooking a heavily trafficked intersection, and the windows are not double-paned -- which means that you'll be noticing traffic and sidewalk noise (like the banging of truck doors closing) until midnight and once the sun is up.
