We love this hotel. It is perfectly located very near our daughter's apartment, and we have stayed here many times. We have never traveled to NYC in April, however, and discovered that during this time, only heat is available in the room. Even though there is a temperature selection, it is meaningless when the heat is on. Therefore, it's tough to get comfortable at night for sleeping, when we prefer it to be quite cool. It also means that if you don't want heat, you can't have the fan on constant to drown out street and hallway noise. When I inquired at the desk, they said the only way to not get heat was to turn the system off, fans included. Also, I am sure someone thought it was a good idea to have the bathroom light come on by motion detection, but it's not good in the middle of the night to have the lights come blaring on. They need to change this. Otherwise, it's a lovely hotel, rooms are clean and comfortable and they offer flavored water and coffee in the lobby 24/7. They are also in the process of upgrading and our floor was quite nice with new carpet and wallpaper.
