"This hotel had everything we were looking for. After researching many options and reading lots of reviews, I’m very happy with our choice and would stay again!
The location is great, about a 10 min walk from Times Square. I never felt the area was unsafe, despite some comments. The entrance is secure, with locked doors and security always present.
The staff were always friendly and helpful. Housekeeping is every 2 days, which we found perfectly adequate since we were out all day and we are clean people.
The room size was good, and the kitchenette was very well equipped, including a large fridge freezer. The bathroom was good with no issues at all.
We were lucky to have a view of the Empire State Building and The Edge.
On the downside, the air conditioning and heating system was difficult to control and quite noisy. The mattress in our room was worn and could use replacing.
Storage space was adequate for our needs, with a small cupboard to hang clothes.
Breakfast was buffet with a good variety of hot and cold food, with extended hours compared to other hotels. At around 8am I always found a table easily. It got busier after, with short waits and some people taking food to their rooms.
The 3 elevators can be busy, so some waiting is expected, be patient.
They also stored our luggage for free after checkout until 6pm.
We paid in full when booking, and the hotel only held a $250 deposit, which was refunded promptly an got it back in my bank account the day after checkout."
