Good place for business stay

Pros: Perfect for a night or 2.
Location: Anything your heart desires is only a few blocks away.
Well maintained hotel just outside the crazy (Times Square) district. Staff was great, room clean and well maintained.

Diappointing

Pros: the staff was very friendly.
Cons: cleanliness. I could deal with small room, but the room has to be clean.
Location: nice location. very convenient.
The staff was very nice, but the room had a few bugs in it making me think it was not cleaned thoroughly before my arrival. Also, the room was incredibly small for the price and I booked a standard. I can't imagine what the petit room size was. Overall, disappointing and I will most likely not book here again. Also, I coudn't believe there was no coffee offered in the morning or even a vending machine. The restaurant wasn't even open in the AM. That was disappointing. Also, twice they couldn't locate my reservation due to a mispelling of my name. Very frustrating. Good Luck

Pros: Front Desk Staff very efficient and courteous. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Four pillows in our king was a plus - as I'm a pillow queen.
Cons: Wish there was a fridge in the room - especially during the hot weather of August.
Location: Away enough from Times Square and on a short residential street so not the craziness that you would find if you were staying in Times Square.
I was in NYC for just about 28 hours - so i didn't spend much time at our hotel except to shower and sleep for 4 hours. The room was spacious (they upgraded us to a Jr. Suite - thank you Front Desk Manager!), the bathroom roomy and the shower was fantastic! The Front Door Person courteous and helpful. Wish it was a little closer to Time Square where we spent most of our time. Otherwise, excellent property.

Tiny room but has all The basic necessities

Checkin and out was very easy. The room is very small and if you are taller then 6 feet good luck getting into the bathroom. Room fits a queen size bed with maybe a foot of walking space in between the bed and wall. Husband and I was on vacation to explore New York, not to stay in a hotel room.So it met all our needs. Walking distance to Times Square, subway, and trendy restaurants. Would recommend for a couple or single person but no more than that.

good value.

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Staff was polite and helpful, not always expected in NYC. Excellent location. A very good value for the price. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable, and except for the size, the furnishings are what you might expect of a more expensive hotel. We've stayed in cheap hotels in NYC before and this one had a good price without the cheap feel. We'll stay in this hotel preferentially from now on.

Too basic, too small

Pros: Close restaurants
Clean room, helpful staff, convenient location BUT 2 ½ feet around the bed in the standard queen room, no place for clothes or suitcases or toiletries in the bathroom. For the money, I would look elsewhere.

Great location, would stay here again

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Hotel located on a quiet street but steps away from Time Square, the theaters and a block away from the subway. Room was compact but what one expects for New York. They offered free internet which was fast and reliable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend and would stay here again. .

Would stay here again

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, convenient
Small, but nice. Walking distance to my Broadway show and Times Square, even for an older overweight lady like me! Staff very helpful and nice. Would be small for two maybe.
