In the heart of the Theatre District, look one way and you've got the bright lights of Times Square, and the other and the Top of the Rock is towering above you. Whatever you want to see in Manhattan, you're sure not to be far away. Start the day with buffet breakfast at the Park Avenue, to get your set up for the day! And the bar is on hand in the lobby for a snack and a drink, should you need to re-fuel later on. Family Rooms are available for that bit extra space and an additional sofa bed, so you can enjoy a trip to the Big Apple, no matter how big or small your brood is.

Second visit to this hotel and we were not disappointed. Eduardo on Reception was very personable and helpful. Their records showed we had stayed with them the previous year and we received a warm welcome.
The breakfast system seems somewhat bizarre at first, but it works well once you get your head round it. The process is very slick. The breakfast itself is very good. There is a huge choice which is regularly replenished. The coffee also tastes of coffee!
The hotel is very well placed and has a reasonably priced cafe/bar in the Reception are. We will definitely choose to stay here on our next visit.

They run a tight ship to ensure they get people through quickly. Location is seconds away from Time Square. Advice if you are booking a taxi to go back to the airport get them to pick you up from the junction of sixth Street it will save you nearly 45 minutes to an hour in traffic. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Gym with small but able to complete workouts.

Although this hotel is in a great location - and rooms are great and adequate for the time you spend in them, there are a number of issues we had.
We had breakfast included and never went as the queue was ridiculous and didn't want to spend time queuing when time was limited and we had things to do, the line started before 7am
Another issue we had was the lifts certain days you could wait up to 20mins for a lift (we were on floor 33) one day we walked down to the 20th floor and called the lift, other people many not be able to do this.
Concierge - on the day of departure we had an early check out and there was no one to assist with our cases so we had to bring them down ourselves.
The hotel is in a great location for Times Square and the rooms were clean beds, comfortable - just the things above were somewhat annoying when you are on a short break
Reception staff very helpful. bar has happy hour from 4-8pm and drinks are good prices
We had a great time despite the above

I will be going back.

Well Positioned Hotel

The hotel is well situated in mid Manhatten and lots of attractions are walkable. We shared the room with our adult daughter. There were 2 queen size beds which were pushed together.

The hotel is well situated in mid Manhatten and lots of attractions are walkable. We shared the room with our adult daughter. There were 2 queen size beds which were pushed together. It would have been better to have the bedside tables between the beds. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand wash and body lotion and a hairdryer were all provided in the bathroom. There was a mini safe and a fridge too. For breakfast you go down to the lobby and give your room number and then queue. You are taken up in the lift to the 5th floor where the restaurant is. The queues were big but well managed and went down swiftly. Make sure your whole party goes down together as you can't skip the line to join others. The choice of food was good and sets you up for the day. There is a bar downstairs where you can buy food and drinks throughout the day and evening. With the window closed, the room was quiet with good black out curtains.
