The hotel was immaculately clean and in an excellent location for Times Square. I would echo what others have said about the breakfast queue and the lifts at busy times, there doesn't appear to be any logic for this as it creates a bottleneck situation at peak times . It was well worth getting the breakfast included in the stay as there was plenty to choose from each morning and the staff were attentive. We never had to wait for a table and we went down at various times of the morning. The front of desk staff were not the happiest or friendliest in the world, but this appears to be a general theme in NYC. Again, as others have said, the bathrooms don't really offer any sort of privacy and you can see through the gap in the door, even when it is closed. We had a few drinks in the bar and the staff were friendly. All in all, we would stay here again as it made for an excellent base for all of our city adventures.

Great location, lovely hotel, only let down by the breakfast. Staff were nice, but the breakfast is chaos at peak times, and I cannot understand why as a customer, why I would need to go over and get new knives and forks after a table has been cleaned, rather than being reset. This is just crazy as a guest, while management stand around directing…
