We stayed in this centrally located hotel in October 2011 for 4 nights. I am aware that finding good hotels in New York is difficult but when paying £250 (pounds not dollars) per night you expect something decent. The hotel itself wasn’t bad - just medicore. However if you want some sleep do not stay here. The rooms are not very well sound proofed at all and there is a bar downstairs playing loud music until 4am. We complained about the noise from the bar (located inside the hotel) only to be told that there was nothing they could do because they had no jurisdiction over the bar - this was at 3.30am. I could here the conversation the people in the rooms next door were having often word for word.
Even in the city that apparently never sleeps, the tourists that visit it do want to sleep at night. This is not the place to stay if you want peace and quiet. Despite complaining about the noise three times when we checked out no-one had offered to make any kind of reduction on the bill which would have been a reasonable gesture. The staff were apologetic but give the level of noise in the hotel I would not stay here again.
