The instructions had the right pass code for entering the room, but not for entering the building itself. Not to mention, the new security guard just sat inside and watched my friends and I trying in vain to enter the building, in the outside cold. Even when we signaled to him that we aren't able to get the code right, he just kept pointing his finger at the machine to punch the code in. After about 5 minutes of pleading him, did he finally open the door for us. Thankfully, the code worked for the room. That guy said he didn't know what to do since he was new, as if he needs any training on basic decency.
The only other problem is the construction noise outside the window, and the view outside is rather drab.
However, the room and bathroom were clean, and there were no other issues. And the other people at the entrance were very kind.
The only good thing is that this hotel is a short drive from Midtown Manhattan. But, I don't know if that's worth $800+ for a 2-bed room for two nights.
