This hotel is in a great location for access to everything you would want to do in Manhattan. The biggest issues were: the lobby had a faint garbage smell. This was not present on the street right outside the hotel or in the rooms. The refrigerator wasn't working. There was no fan in the bathroom which was problematic after eating greasy pizza! But, the biggest disappointment was the free breakfast. I don't know why so many have mentioned how good it was. The scrambled eggs were hard in the middle but runny. Not even sure how you do that. Pancakes were hard. Overall, nothing was good unless you are okay with cold cereal. If I had paid $32.00 that they charge for this breakfast, I would have been upset. But, I chose this hotel because of the breakfast thinking it would save a few bucks so I factored that into the cost when comparing hotels. We only ate there the first day and then found other options after that. We went back the 2nd day at a different time to see if perhaps the day before was a fluke, but sadly, it was no better the 2nd day.
