The breakfast set us up for the day. There is plenty of choice and the cooked food was of a reasonable quality but I avoided the bacon and sausages. My only surprise was that a $300 pending payment was placed on my debit card on arrival. This was refunded when I left a week later but took 31 days to arrive in my account! Read less

A centrally located hotel, just a block away from Time Square which offered a bit less noise than staying on Time Square itself. Very close to a wide selection of restaurants. Good breakfast Buffett offering. Rooms on the smaller side and quite basic. But there was a fridge in the room which was handy to keep drinks cool. No kettle or tea/coffee making facilities in room. The hotelis classed as 4* and having stayed in a lot of 4* and 5* hotels I would class the rooms as 3* but the hotel facilities as 4* just. Staff were always around to help and were really friendly. Of course for the obligatory tip. As I’m from the UK having to constantly tip is a change in culture - but when in Rome. Would recommend as a place to stay if travelling to New York. Read less
