This is a really nice NY hotel option. Affordable (at least for NYC), and well-run. The staff were great. Good shower and A/C, really made NYC in a hot, hot summer tolerable. The breakfast area is kind of a madhouse, the space just not big enough to accommodate the crush of people using it every morning.

The property is a typical 3 Star hotel in major cities, there is a lot of construction going on around the hotel so noise even on weekends was happening in the early morning hours. I reserved a 1 queen room and it was misleading as I sleep on a queen at home and this was FULL bed so had I known I would have done a 2 bed room. We also had an accessible room which I love but wish they had done a better job with bathroom drainage from the shower, had to put two towels down to keep water from soaking the whole bathroom. The A/C worked amazing, bed was comfortable, housekeeping was amazing as well. The hotel offers a free hot breakfast which is a draw for school trip so I'm the mornings it was a zoo worse than Disney World buffet lines, the ran out of juices on the weekend which was sad for my son who is a picky on what he will drink. The food was good and changed each morning what was available. The best selling point is it is 6 blocks from Time Square and 1 to 2 blocks from some amazing restaurants. For the price it is a good value for what ouu receive

The hotel is located about 15 minute walk to timea square and a couple of blocks away from closest bus. We werent aware of the works going on at the hotel and were suprised to find no outdoor seating and the outdoor area covered in scaffolding, additionally there were workmen going up and down past our window doing repairs that started quite early in the morning. The room itself was spacious with a comfortable bed, aircon worked perfectly and there were coffee making facilities. The fridge did work but only kept things cool rather than cold. However the thing that ruined our stay was breakfast. There were far too many people and not enough seating or food. We tried at several different times but it was still unpleasant. Food ran out as quickly as it was bought out and it was impossible to move around safely and comfortably. Pros- location, room space, aircon and general cleanliness of hotel. Local shops for food, drinks and bars etc. Cons- breakfast was over crowded, disorganised and not enough food or coffee. Lifts during breakfast. No warning of works at the hotel. Reception had 1 small sofa so not ideal when waiting for cabs etc.
