We booked 2 rooms for 5 nights. There is nothing I could fault about this hotel, the price we paid was worth it for the breakfast alone ! rooms were spotless and serviced everyday with plenty of fresh towels provided. All the staff were very friendly and very helpful especially George. When our transfer didn't arrive, George rang them for us as we couldn't ring USA numbers from our phones. We had a late flight and the hotel provided a room for us to store our baggage enabling us to go and explore on our last day and also allowed us to remain connected to the WiFi until we were collected. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel. It took us 3 minutes to walk to Times Square which was very handy for the subway. Already planning our return in 2026 ! Read less

Go for the breakfast option there is literally everything to chose from. A small grab and go cafe is also attached to the hotel foyer as well as a very nice bar. The only thing that annoyed us was we complained the shower leaked into the passage and was slippy. We informed reception 3 times but nothing was done. Apart from that our visit was fantastic. 5 minute walk from times square. Read less
