Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and found the location to be perfect. There are a number of places to eat, as well as a pharmacy, within walking distance. The room had everything we needed and we appreciated the modern decor. The front desk staff were all nice and professional, and went above-and-beyond to ensure guests were happy, could get transportation, etc. Our room wasn't facing the street, which was a big bonus from a noise city-noise perspective. Unfortunately, the noise issues we DID have were internal (not city/street related).
The only reason I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars is because of the other staff: cleaning and maintenance. Constant noise by the cleaning crew (or perhaps neighbors) throughout all hours of the night woke us up many times, leaving us feeling drained the next day. All night, we could hear them rummaging around, thumping the walls, etc. They were also quite noisy in the halls when they began their morning cleaning... talking in very loud voices, banging all the walls with vacuum cleaners, etc. Not cool before 8am, when you're vacationing and want to sleep in.
One evening, one of the maintenance guys knocked on our door--despite our "do not disturb" sign--at about 6pm to ask if he could install a bumper/protector on one of the walls in our room. Suffice to say his timing was terrible. We had the DND sign on the door for a reason. Regardless, he was polite and left, but asked that we notify the front desk when we headed out for the evening so he could come back and install the piece.
Despite these issues though, we will probably stay here again if we ever return to New York. It sounds like I just unloaded a lot of negative info, but those issues were more of an annoyance, and not a deal-breaker. We enjoyed our stay very much.
