It is an OK stay, but it is not worth the cost and not on par with other 5 stars in NYC.
Pros:

The location is good, and convenient. The room is quite big. The staff is friendly.

Cons:

The A/C temperature was set to 68, which is too cold for us, and the thermostat in the room cannot adjust the temperature. The technician came to check, but can only increase it a little bit. My younger son got a few bug bites on the back, neck and arm. Not sure it is bedbug or other insects. We had two rooms, and they only cleaned one room. We used one bath robe, and they are supposed to replace a clean one, but they didn’t.

GREAT STAFF
Pros:

Hard to find this level of customer service elsewhere. This is the type of place where the staff remembers your name and goes above and beyond to try to help with whatever you need. One of the staff, Nelson told me they treat their guests like family - and I've felt it over and over again. I stay here every time I travel in! Everyone is lovely. The location is central - and bonus points for the tacos across the street.

Great hotel, great location
Pros:

This is a great hotel - suspect it would be very hard to beat in NYC.

The first thing is the location. We have been to NYC probably 40 plus times now and the location of the hotel is perfect. Opposite Union Square - which is a great central location in itself with its market and buzz - it is in walking distance of the best of NYC in our view. On one side, you can walk to 5th avenue, pass the Empire State building, Times Square, the usual tourist hot-spots. Turn in the other direction and you have West (and East) Village with its fabulous restaurants and neighbourhood feel. There is no better located hotel in our view.

The staff are all warm and genuinely friendly. The room we had was great. Decent size, quiet for NYC, great view. Clean. Couldn't fault it.

There are just two things they could do to make it even better. First, the Lounge and the Rooftop bar are a bit of a faff. They don't open two days a week and are closed between 12-4 every day, which is right when you want to escape NY heat and grab a cool drink. A Lounge in particularly should also be 'loungy' - i.e. you can chill there, get whatever drink you want etc, but there are a few too many 'rules' - its a bar at night and a cafe by day for example. If I want a glass of wine at 2pm I think the hotel should provide this (the restaurant on the ground floor does have a small bar but its not comfortable for a drink and the drinks there are not the greatest). Likewise, if I want some tea at 10pm after a meal, there should be somewhere I can do this. Secondly, there is no water in the room. When it's 34 degrees outside, really need water in the room that we can take with us.

Overall though, these are quite minor and the hotel does the big stuff right. Good staff, great location, comfortable and clean. We're back again in 2 months!

Expected More
Pros:

Our corner room was small and the bathroom was particularly small. The way the shower door opened was very awkward. The lighting in the room was poor. There was no light over the coffee maker and about one-third of the room had no overhead light or lamp. The bed and pillows were softer than we like.

Housekeeping was noisy in the mornings. There was a lot of slamming of doors, not just by housekeeping, but by guests.

Most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming when we were coming and going through the lobby.

We were appalled to find a big roach on the bathroom floor on our last night. We mentioned this when we checked out and the woman at the front desk shared our horror. She said she would report it to management and they would get in touch with us, but to date, no one has.
