The room was small but very clean.. you could smell the cleanliness when you entered the hotel lobby. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. We we there celebrating my daughter's birthday and they gave us 4 drink vouchers for any of the 2 bar/restaurants on site. we choose the landing and enjoyed drinks and a snack before the show. Location was perfect smack dab in the middle of Times square with access to everything. I highly recommend ... only wish they had coffee and bottle water for purchase in the lobby although they had a coffee and pot machine in the room just dont like using them. overall 5stars

Really clean hotel very well located. Cleaning staff and front desk staff are very professionnal. There is also a gym in the hotel in case you still have some energy after walking all day long :D The only "issue" isn't related to the hotel, but since the hotel is very close to Times Square, all those dude in tricycles are blasting music super loud, no matter the time in night.... But otherwise, great hotel with good prices for the location!

The property was in an area where we could get anywhere we needed. They also stored our luggage after checkout, so we were unencumbered while we went around the city. Our biggest issues were that the TV wasn't connected to anything so I wasn't able to keep up with the Olympics, and the water pressure was not great. Other than that it was fine for one night.

Noisy rooms, could hear all outside noise constantly. Air con unit is the loudest, you’ll not be able to sleep with it on. Wi-Fi was terrible, very slow and kept cutting in and out. Every time I raised issues about the hotel, the staff didn’t want to know. I wouldn’t stay here again.
