1. Centrally located (close enough to Central Park to smell the horses, right next to Carnagie Hall, a couple of blocks from MOMA, and a short walk to Times Square), this hotel's main asset is the spacious and comfortable rooms you get for slightly more than the cost of far tighter quarters in hotels not nearly so well located.

2. This IS an older hotel, so you'll notice things like peeling paint and window unit a/c's, but the rooms are clean with no bad smells.

3. The closet smelled a little but like mothballs, and the sink and tub were clean-- but old style, nothing fancy.

4. The carpets look new, nothing looks worn, the paint isn't peeling, the elevators worked perfectly, the hallways don't smell bad, the staff is extremely helpful and always smiling.

6. Although our room was large with several closets, it was very very noisy on the 57th street side, and on the other end there was a persistent cooking oil smell from a nearby cafe.
