Fantastic in the heart of manhattan! The location was close to Central Park and walking distance to just about everything. It was also on the main bus route and close to Subway station. The room was absolutely immaculate, small but well appointed, in excellent condition. Only only two negatives, 1)the climate control for the room is extremely noisy when AC is running. 2) There was a divot in the bed where people slept. (Time for a new mattress cover). Front desk staff really helpful! I would stay there every chance I get.
