This 100-room upper-middle-range hotel aims for glamour with its gold-trimmed decor, but upon closer inspection, that luster is fading. The clean, classically decorated rooms are reasonably spacious for New York (especially the suites), though the decor and furniture show signs of aging. It does provide a decent value, especially for sightseers, with attractions like the Empire State building and multiple subway lines within a few blocks. It may be worth comparing rates with the Affinia Dumont, The Carlton, or Hotel Chandler.
