I find La Quinta properties to be mostly new and well-cleaned and maintained. The property in Manhattan is an especially good value and is in a good location near Macy's Herald Square and the Empire State Building.

If you stay at La Quinta this summer, be sure to join their "Returns" program. I got a postcard the other day with a promo: Stay 3 times at any La Quinta location this summer, 6/15 through 8/15/2004, and earn one free night. Free night posts as 8,000 bonus points added to your account. Earn a maximum of 24,000 points through this offer.

Sorry, I haven't stayed at the particular location you're enquiring about, but I've stayed in quite a few of their properties (CA, AZ, TX, NY) and never had a bad stay.
