Was lucky to win a 5 night trip to NYC in a competition and this was the hotel in the prize. Very good location a couple of streets from Times Square, with good transport links. Fantastic elevator security and felt secure in the area. Felt safe'ish, but NYC has relaxed the cannabis laws so smell of weed nearly everywhere. Only other gripe was that we were only on floor 5 (4 in England) and I had a view of the back of private apartments and my friend overlooked 8th Avenue, noisy but closed windows silenced that. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay again, but would put in special request for higher floor room. Read less

The breakfast was excellent with a great choice of hot and cold food and drinks. All the staff were friendly and helpful, The hotel was in a great location for Times Square and the theatre district with lots of little takeaways etc nearby. Was clean throughout and would stay here again when visiting New York City. Read less
