An excellent choice for a family of 5 celebrating a milestone birthday. Two bedrooms and a large living/dining area with a kitchen complete with all the amenities. Walk to ANYWHERE and convenient to the subway. Priced at a point that couldn't be matched. Staff were attentive yet not intrusive, helpful and quick to find answers to any of our questions....which were varied and frequent. Would revisit again! Read less

We stayed for 29 nights and had excellent service and very comfortable room. Walk-in shower was great as were kitchen amenities and the en-suite washer and dryer. Would definitely stay there again. Central location and walking distance to Whole Foods and Times Square.

Liz.... This is the most amazing hotel staff representative you could wish to encounter. The story is too long, but to summarise... 15 minutes after my arrival at AKA Times Square from the airport I realised I had left my phone in a yellow cab. Several staff members immediately set about calling my phone and continued until eventually the person who found my phone called the hotel 😁 to locate a lost mobile phone in New York is beyond belief, but knowing that I had just arrived and did not know my way around, Liz went way beyond the call of duty and collected it. I can't thank the staff enough, my short break with my daughter to celebrate her 21st birthday was almost ruined on arrival, but this hotel has an approach to guests far beyond expectation. The hotel itself is everything you can want and more, location, staff, rooms and ambiance are all 10 out of 10, would definitely stay again... Highly recommended. If you are reading this review, stop searching for accommodation in New York, you have found what you are looking for. Thank you to all the staff, especially Liz 👍 Read less
