The hotel had very noisy rooms overlooking the street, but they were well-appointed and clean. Unfortunately, the view was lacking. The service was fantastic overall, with helpful and friendly staff, especially Andre, although access with a stroller was a bit challenging. The location was great for a conference nearby and offered easy access to key attractions, but lacked sufficient bathroom shelf space. The dining options were basic but included a breakfast, adding value for money. The facilities were satisfactory.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, the rooms were clean, quiet, and the bed was super comfortable. However, the noise from the streets was a downside, although staying in a junior suite solved this issue. The location was excellent for exploring key attractions and eateries, but the noise from the air-conditioning equipment was a little troubling.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room I stayed in wasn't as nice due to noise concerns heard from other New York hotels, the location was truly perfect being minutes away from both Central Park and Times Square. The service, highlighted by a cheerful front desk employee, was mostly good, although the bellman stood out for their attentiveness. The dining options were satisfactory with a simple breakfast spread, and the facilities were decent overall.

The hotel rooms were spacious, clean, and very convenient, with a really big and comfortable bed, although they could use a facelift pretty soon. The location was excellent for access to many NYC sites, very close to the Subway, and in a safe area. The service was top-notch, with polite, professional, and very helpful staff. The dining experience was basic but included a convenient breakfast. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few areas that could use improvement.

When we first entered the room, it smelt a bit stuffy, but the scent faded after some time. The view of the neighboring high rise buildings was impressive. The room had a daybed and chairs, ensuring each of us had our own bed, but it felt overcrowded at times. Not everything was always available due to the crowding.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room was huge compared to most I've seen in NY, perfect for families. The rooms were updated with new carpet, linens, and curtains. My room was #703, conveniently close to the elevator. The service was very hospitable and helpful. The staff were attentive, helpful, and welcoming, even finding out the best train for us to take and recommending great restaurants. The location was fantastic for seeing shows and museums, within walking distance to most attractions like Times Square and Central Park but away from the hustle and bustle. The dining experience was a bit basic with limited healthy choices, mostly cakes, croissants, and waffles. The facilities were very good overall. Two positive aspects were clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Two negative aspects were the disappointing dining options and lack of healthy alternatives.
