Visited in mid-August. Booked through Priceline. Great value, especially for first timers. I could easily walk to all the touristy spots. Close to subway. Staff was beyond accommodating. We had a regular room (vs. upgraded) which was clean and typical for a mid-scale hotel. It seemed like all rooms had a balcony. For those that aren't great w/ directions, they have three separate entrances from three main streets, so you can get there fairly easily from all directions. Didn't really take advantage of any of the common amenities, maybe next time. Free wifi in the lobby was a bonus!
