Great location and good value for families

Great location just off Times Square. Hotel room larger than others we’ve previously stayed in NYC. Having breakfast included is a real benefit and cost effective. Appreciated the staff bringing chocolates and a card for my daughter on her birthday. Would definitely recommend.
Very pleasant

Rooms were small, but very clean and well organized.

Close to everything, we walked everywhere: Dinners, Shows, sightseeing, everywhere.
