1. This hotel is a very nice hotel - BUT - unless you are fine with taking the chance that could cause you great frustration, and cost you money, I do not recommend you stay here or anywhere that is known to be infested with bed bugs.

3. This is a fantastic Hotel, In a GREAT Location,I think good value for money too,But Care, with the treats and mini- bar, When you first go into the rooms, We had three rooms and in just one it warned that if you remove an item for 20 seconds it will be billed to your room.

4. Even that I didn`t get central park view (you need to pay extra money for that), room number 2707 at the non smoking floor was great.

6. If you can get a bargain park view room, go for it if not spend the same amount of money on a better hotel with much better service.

7. Considering that we did receive a fairly good rate as NYC hotels go, plus saved money with the comp breakfast each morning, it was an overall good deal and pleasant experience.

8. I guess if the owners threw a pile of money at it to renovate it up to todays standards that it would have cost a whole lot more to stay there than we paid.

9. Saying that, I don't want to be too critical as we had a very pleasant stay and got decent value for money as when we booked it, got a 50% discount.
