If you want to be in Times Square this is the perfect location, has great restaurants and an amazing rooftop bar. As for the rooms, this hotel is not 5 * more like 4 at best. The rooms are not as shown on marketing materials but much smaller and barely a window. I felt very confined in the room and had to get a different room with more windows so I didn't feel trapped.

Whilst the hotel is of good quality and we had an enjoyable stay, I'm not sure it hits the 'luxury' level claimed. The room was perfectly clean, although not terribly large and the bed was really good, and the housekeeping was very good and efficient (as was reception), but what hurts is the ridiculous Resort Fee. This is "justified" to take account for the wifi (which went down for several hours one morning), water in the room (really??), and the gym. Given I expect most people who stay do not step foot in the gym, its hard to accept these "reasons".Oddly no tea/coffee making facilities either in the room. The location is however great, right by Times Square, so ideal for theatres and plenty of restaurants and bars, but still nice and quiet (we had an inside room which was fine). We were able to check in a little early and as we were celebrating a birthday, they did provide some treats (eased the pain of the ridiculous Resort Fee). We thought however, the price was high and it didn't really hit the 'luxury' level claimed, but it was all very clean and the staff helpful and pleasant. We didn't eat there, but the cafe on the ground floor was ok....even if it was expensive (2 coffees and a danish and a roll came to $33, but NY is very expensive). The rooftop bar was lovely, waiting staff really helpful, and blankets were provided for the evening chill. All in all, I'm not sure we'd say we got great value for money, as you don't spend much ti

The hotel is centrally located, which was a big plus. The beds and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, and our room was always clean. The in-house coffee shop served great coffee, and a couple of front desk staff members were very helpful. However, there were several drawbacks that made the stay less enjoyable. The elevators were incredibly slow and unreliable — we once waited 20 minutes just to get down from the rooftop. Food and drinks were average at best, and both bars closed at 11pm, even on weekends, which was disappointing given how busy the rooftop always was. We also had an unpleasant experience with security on Saturday night when we tried to visit the 4th floor, unaware that the restaurant/bar was closed. The way we were treated was unprofessional and unwelcoming. Overall, for the price, I expected a better experience. There are definitely better options in the area — and until the elevator situation is addressed, I wouldn't return.

A fantastic experience in this upscale 5 star hotel. It is in a brilliant central location in Times Square and has been symptomatically refurbished whilst retaining its historic charm. The roof top bar is a tremendous feature with great views. Highly recommended
