The hotel was older than we expected, it was maintained well, but did have some bumps and bruises still noticeable. The shower design was a little poor with water splashing over a good portion of the bathroom floor, but at least not running out into the room. The air conditioning did struggle during the day, but did catch up at night. Definitely not reading the correct temperature because 66 was not cold and the fan was a little loud. Hey, exhausted by the end of the day of walking and site seeing, so very tired and still slept. View was not the best on the 9th floor, so get higher if you can. Walkable and relatively safe location, 9 to 12 minutes to the nearest subway stations. One bad thing, the entrance to the Holland tunnel is nearby and if it's backed up, there is a lot of honking cars nearby.
