Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
Well maintained establishment, the credit limit was $35 a night which sounds good but everything to eat is ~$30+ and they include the tip in the bill regardless, overall good stay and I was able to get to the subway with no problem

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS
No refrigerator, coffee maker, nor microwave. There’s a Starbucks, in the lobby that opens at 6:30. Did not hear neighbors. Partner said the room was small, not too bad. Nice view from 25th floor. Tic Toc restaurant is open 24 hr., good and reasonable. Some nice Art Deco elements.

The location was excellent. The property was undergoing some construction. The complimentary breakfast was great every morning, it just is very busy with guests. Room cleaned every other day, did an amazing job cleaning.
