I suspect that you won't earn points with this rate, though.

I thought there was something wrong with the hotel but it seems it only is new, right?

On a recent stay.....Tiny standard rooms, small, almost non functional bathroom, sloppy housekeeping, 2 slow elevators for 25 floors and disinterested staff.
Maybe still a deal at $179/nt or 15K points as it is centrally located and convenient to subways and Penn Station. Not to familiar with HI, certainly one of the smallest rooms of any major chain hotel.

Come to think of it, dlflyer2 is right: lifts were an issue. bathroom was OK for me, albeit undoubtedly on the small side.
On the positive side, there is free wired broadband and wifi in the rooms.
Overall, definitely not somewhere where you would want to hang on for hours on end but fine as a reasonably comfortable crashpad in the heart of Manhattan.

I am currently staying at this hotel
I am afraid that the previous comments are fully accurate
the rooms are VERY small!!!
the closet is so small that you cannot hang your clothes
no safe, no in room minibar
there is no bathtub but only a shower
you cannot open the door of the bathroom and use at the same time the - tiny - sink
the isolation is very poor (you can perfectly hear any conversation in the corridor or room door closing from your door)
The lift is REALLY an issue: you have to wait wait and wait to go ou or down
Reception is so small (without any Elite PC line) that you may wait quite a long time for check in or check out
the air conditioning is very noisy
I am very surprised that this hotel got the new Holiday Inn label
By the size of the rooms and the amenities, it is definitely more a Holiday Inn Express (except that breakfast in not free...)
Location is very good to visit art galleries at West Chelsea or around Bowery street
Large flat TV screen with cable networks (but not any European TV)
Free wireless internet in the room
I have got this hotel for 15,000 points, so it is OK. But I would not stay in this property again

...]Heem, the place sounds bad. Was also gonna be staying there on points but think I will go elsewhere - I take baths and have an issue with noisy rooms, so from all reports this place is not the one for me.Will just have to pay a few more points at one of the other properties instead I think !

I was at the property 2 weeks ago...
Very busy at check-in, took 30 min to check-in me, they gave me a wrong room, as I asked for non smoking and they gave me a smoke room smelling a lot!!! Just a place to sleep, nice bed, good LCD screen and free wireless, small bathroom and very small sink, ridiculous closet and elevator took ages to arrive, but good value for points in Manhattan...
