Nice hotel in great location in the heart of Times Square making it easy to walk to most attractions. Hotel is well run, the room was nice, I did not like the $40 'residence fee' on top of the booking charge. Is this unique to this hotel or a US thing?

Staff were so helpful before I even arrived. Great communication and helpful with a request. Hotel was immaculate. Staff very friendly. Beds really comfortable. Air conditioning perfect. Room size was great. 2 queen beds. We had 4 suitcases and there was loads of room. Mine slid in next to the bed and my niece against the wall near the table area. Not in the way at all. Little banquette and chair with a table. Good lighting options. Black out blind. Water and coffee topped up daily. Quiet rooms, good sound proofing. Even if it got busy there was no problem getting a lift. Had them to ourselves mostly (and it was Thanksgiving) We got the guitar for our room for fun. I arranged champagne and strawberries for the room, which I obviously paid for. But the help in arranging this was so good. A list of other items they could arrange was emailed and I had at least 3 different people email.to confirm or ask if I needed more help. The bell man weighed our cases for us as my niece was worried. Doorman so friendly. Even housekeeping were so smiley and asked how our stay was. I think it's a great choice. I would say it's the best hotel I've stayed in. Not a single bad thing to say about our stay. Read less

An excellent hotel in a great location. The hotel is in the perfect location for exploring New York, close to the public transportation links and lots of local restaurants to choose from including the on site restaurants. The staff are friendly, the rooms are spotless.

Also very close to all theatres. Nothing is too much bother for the staff, and was able to leave our luggage there after checking out until we had to leave for our flight late afternoon. I would definately stay here again Read less
