    Great location but basic rooms

    If you want a hotel that is right where the action is then this is the place for you. Within 20 minutes walk you will be at any landmark in midtown and there is a subway within 2 minutes walk from the door too. Breakfast is good and plentiful but get there early as the queue can be long after 8 am. Rooms were more basic than expected and with no tea or coffee making facilities I felt it was a bit lacking. The shower was shocking too as there was no power to at at all!

    Nice Hotel great location

    This is the second time that I have stayed at this hotel. It is close to all of the shows that we attended as well as only 4 blocks from a major subway station. We loved the hotel. The breakfast was outstanding. I hope to be able to stay there if I get back to NYC. The rooms were small, but we were only in the room to sleep. The hotel was clean and in a wonderful location.

    MLK Weekend Stay

    This hotel was fabulous! My boyfriend and I were very pleased with the location! It was a short walk to subways for transfer and also a short walk right to Times Square. The workers were very kind. One thing we wished we had known was that our key cards turned our lights on/off. The people at the desk did not inform us of that when we were checking in. Another highlight was the breakfast was very delicious! The workers did a great job getting us seated in a short amount of time. However, don't delay in going to breakfast. The line becomes insanely long after 9:30. Other than that, we had a great stay! We will definitely be staying here again when we come to the city!
