I highly recommend this hotel. The staff is courteous, professional and extremely friendly. The buffet was to tier and a tad bit different each day. The rooms were spacious for a NYC hotel.
We had a great stay. We were in the city for our daughter's 17th birthday. We were able to check in early at no additional cost, which helped us get into the city sooner than we expected. The hotel was clean and neat. Service was great and employees were very attentive. Room was clean and sufficient for our stay. No complaints - would definitely stay again and recommend to friend and family.
Everything was fabulous! We got in early so dropped our bags off earlier in the day and got our tickets to retrieve them later after check in time. When we arrived later, Mery checked us in and was so extremely helpful. She was very thorough, detailed, and answered our questions before we could even ask them. She was extremely polite and mailed a postcard for us (we provided the stamp). I'm not picky, I don't need anything fancy, just a bed and a nice place overall. My adult daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights in October and this was a perfect location for everything near Times Square and Broadway. The Bellmen will even hail a cab for you or suggest private car service for a fee or Uber. For the city, it was extremely quiet. Of course in any hotel you'll hear noise like other guests closing doors but aside from that this was quiet. No concerns with the bed or AC and I like a cool room. As many reviews mentioned yes, the frosted glass in-between the bathroom and bedroom is a little interesting but if you just look away when the person's showering, it's not a big deal. The only con I would say is the bathroom light is pretty bright as far as shining thru the frosted glass if someone is still sleeping. A lot of people made comments about the breakfast and how busy it was but it's New York, it'll be busy anywhere you go. It was organized in a fast, New York way when you have droves of people coming in at all times so I think they did great! Would definitely stay again!
This hotel is apparently well known internationally. The room was clean and adequate although noise carries since there are no carpets anywhere. We could hear our neighbors next door talking in the morning. The breakfast while wide in variety and with ample supply, the scene was complete chaos with people not respecting personal space, reaching across me at the buffet line to grab a bagel, and cutting in line. Every single table was full at 7:30am. The happy hour however was a nice treat with great drinks at really reasonable prices. I definitely liked this location as it’s far enough away from Times Square to be a bit quieter.

La habitación muy pequeña para lo costosos que es el hotel, el bufet de primera lo recomiendo 100%.
