The room was clean and staff was nice but the building was very dated and the room was tiny. The bathroom door didnt open all the way as it hit the toilet. It did the job for a quick weekend to see a show on Broadway but will probably find somewhere else to stay next time.

We’ve stayed here several times. It’s convenient and good location. The elevator situation is always a bit of a pain, but for the price it’s a good place to be able to explore Manhattan from.

Though I "upgraded" from two double bedsd to a king bed with a bunk bead, I could not be happier with the overall location of the hotel. Amazingly quiet for a hotel that is opposite Times Square, and near so many important landmarks, including Carnegie Deli! A great glass of guiness is to be had just next door at a fine Irish pub. The staff at the front desk is efficient, courteous, and smart.

Location was great, housekeeper was polite and friendly. It was a place to lay our heads after busy days, but we never felt comfortable. Only 1 air con worked, the one that did was noisy, shower was not designed well, it was tired looking, used the stairs more than the elevators, front of house staff were grumpy and tried to swindle us by ordering a black cab to La Guardia airport for $100, we ended up booking a taxi for $55.
