    Wonderful stay

    An excellent stay, just before Christmas. Our room was very clean and a good size, with efficient room service everyday. The breakfast buffet was a good choice of dishes. Little coffee shop adjacent to the hotel. Perfect location on a street dubbed “Restaurant Row”with lots of restaurants and bars, a couple of blocks from Times Square, 10 minutes from the Rockefeller Center and a few minutes walk from a couple of subway stations. A taxi from JFK cost $85 and took 1 hour 20 mins.

    Amazing service in a central location

    The hotel is beautiful. You can't get more central -it's literally a 4 min walk to Times Square- and the subway is right on your doorstep. The breakfast is great, all piping hot and replenished quickly. There's a coffee shop on the ground floor, too. Rooms are cosy but perfect for the city. Beds comfortable and lovely bathrooms - amazing shower. Toiletries and a decent powered hairdryer are included. The staff are wonderful and can't do enough to help you. When we return to NYC next year, we'll absolutely be staying here again.

    Conveniently located hotel

    I spent one night here with a friend. Our room was on the 27th executive floor and had access to a small lounge with light refreshments. I originally booked an executive king room expecting my husband to join me. At check-in, I inquired about the availability of 2 double beds since I was traveling with a friend instead. Nothing was available, but the receptionist kindly upgraded us to a king junior suite room. Like many hotels in NYC, the rooms are small. I appreciated the added space of the junior suite room and would book that room type in the future. The executive king rooms are tight. I got a peek at an executive king room as my brother & wife reserved were staying in one. It was tight. My room was modern and clean. Bed was comfortable. We could hear sirens, but no other traffic noise. One oddity with the room is the lack of privacy. The bathroom/bath tub is open to the bedroom. The shower & toilet have frosted glass doors providing some privacy, but you can see the outline of the person. Also, if you get up in the middle of the night, you have to turn on the bathroom light which illuminates the bedroom too since there is no wall/door divider between the 2 rooms. Maybe I was more sensitive to the layout since I was traveling with a friend. Hotel is conveniently located to theatres and restaurant row. Breakfast buffet and lobby bar were good. Parking, with hotel discount rate, was $45 and located about 2.5 blocks from the hotel. There is no valet parking. Bell hop can store bags after checkout if necessary. I would stay here again.
