Location is great. Staff was wonderful! Rooms, or at least my room, in need of attention. Especially the bathroom that's in need of a big update. Nothing 4-star about it! Room good enough for me though. Comfortable bed. Nespresso machine in the room. Not impressed by temperature control though.

6/10 Good

Overall it was...fine. The photos make the space way larger and more updated than it actually is. Its a very old building that they've done incremental improvements to. Staff is very nice, its clean enough, but absolutely not a luxury type stay. Very close proximity to Times Square, Bryant Park, 5th Ave, etc. so if those locations are important to you, it may be a win.

10/10 Exceptional

The location is perfect for those that want to be in the middle of it all. The subway is bless than a 8 minute walk away and all the Broadway theatres. Staff is always so nice and friendly and the rooms were great. We have stayed here multiple times with no issues. This was the first time we stayed on a street side room. It was pretty loud and the windows didn’t keep any noise out and was hard to fall asleep. Other than that it is a great hotel. Would stay again but would ask to stay on a non street facing room.
