The hotel is conveniently located close to Times Square and theater district, making it perfect for exploring Manhattan. The rooms were small but nice and clean, although the heating was too high at times. The service was friendly and energetic. The location is definitely a great asset for both business and leisure activities. The dining options were limited to coffee and water only. Overall, the hotel offers a great location and friendly service but lacks dining variety.

The hotel's location near Times Square was ideal for exploring the city, but the small room without a view and lingering smoke smell left something to be desired. The service was top-notch, and the lack of dining options was inconvenient. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while very clean and large by NYC standards, suffered from the constant noise of the air conditioning from the building behind. The service was welcoming and accommodating overall but the surprise expensive limo to the airport left me feeling a bit misled. The location was convenient, close to Times Square, but the ongoing construction nearby was a drawback. The dining options were only average with room for improvement.

The rooms, though not vacuumed during our stay, were very clean and surprisingly spacious for NYC. However, the noise from the air conditioning outside was quite disruptive.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean, adequate, and as expected, with a lovely tiled bath. Although a full-length mirror would have been nice, the room had everything I needed. The service was really helpful and friendly, although there was a minor issue when they argued about bed sizes in NYC. The location was convenient to Times Square, Hell's Kitchen, and Rockefeller Plaza. The dining experience could have been better in terms of breakfast options. The hotel offers good value for money considering its facilities and location.
