The staff were detrimental. the rooms are fine.
My experience was that the hotel staff made so many mistakes that it began to be like a dark comedy. The rooms are very modest but they are fine for the price in NYC except when they start jacking them up by $20 increments as you try to find other options at the last minute simply saying that the last person I spoke to had made a mistake. I was supposed to pay $169 tax included. I ended up paying $217 for my little room after searching in vein late at nite for another joint and enduring contradiction after mistake after out and out lies. If I didn't have such a fun friend to hang out with it would have been truly despicable. They have REALLY great art/photography in the place so if you end up there after all my blubbering check out the various hallways.

Great location, cool hotel and perfect location.
Great hotel. There is no need to stay anywhere else in new York. location is perfect, midtown and just off 5th av. The rooms are like apartments, very adequate and clean. When I go to New York I tend not to stay that much in the hotel room apart from sleeping. This is the perfect place for someone who wants a good cheap place to crash. If you want bling bling then go somewhere else. Big up to the Gershwin.
