This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and I wouldn't stay anywhere else in New York, the staff are super friendly and one lady on reception even remembered me from January! The rooms are lovely and very clean and beds great, the shower had a rainfall attachment on it which was lovely after a super hot day of 38 in the city. Breakfast was brilliant with a huge range to suit everyone, and this sets you up for the day, and the orange juice is lovely. Location is very good and one block away from Times Square, and lot's of attractions are very walkable as there are a lot of attractions close by. Choose to stay here you won't regret it. Read less

Stayed here for three nights from 12 to 14 June in a family room with my husband and 17 year son. Checked in around 10pm after travelling all day from Scotland and the member of staff was very pleasant. However this was somewhat ruined by a colleague ‘gesturing’ with his hands for us to move ourselves and our luggage out of the way to allow him to deal with other customers - rude! The room was compact but was spotlessly clean. The two double beds were comfortable however the sofa bed that our son slept on was very uncomfortable which he didn’t tell us about until our last morning! My husband tested it out and the mattress was very lumpy. The other criticism about the room was the the shower room which was effectively two glass walls with a sliding glass door. The glass does have privacy screening but you could still see silhouettes of whoever was in the shower and what they were doing! Not a pleasant or discreet experience. Breakfast was very busy but really well organised with friendly staff directing customers to tables. The selection on offer was fantastic from fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, to hot cooked eggs, sausages, bacon, waffles and pancakes. Food wasn’t always piping hot but it wasn’t cold either. We sat outside on the terrace too for drinks on a couple of nights which was lovely. The location of the hotel was very good and close to Times Square (but not right in the middle of it), Broadway theatres and Hells Kitchen. Walking distance to Central Park too. We would return to the hotel for the location and cleanliness. Read less

Perfect location near lively Times Square. Great breakfast and well managed. exceptional staff, smooth check-in/out. Room a bit cramped for a family and AC tricky at first, but tech team responded quickly.
