I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The hotel was in a convenient location - close to the subway, eateries and for simply getting around. The room was the perfect size for a solo traveler and had great amenities. Helpful and friendly staff made the stay easy! Wouldn't hesitate to come back 😊

Great hotel!
Great hotel just around the corner from Times Square. Super friendly staff, they where very quick to fix the small issues we had - within five minutes everything was taken care of. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone I know. The only negative thing is, that the room was smaller than shown in the pictures, otherwise everything was perfect.

Our room was the Executive King, it was decently sized, and shockingly quiet. I was so concerned about noise booking so close to Times Square, while our room had no view we didn’t hear any horns, sirens etc.
The location is FANTASTIC, close to Broadway theaters, multiple subway stations etc. we truly enjoyed our visit.

Great location
This location is excellent for Times Square. We had two rooms. One bathroom was fine. The other had no lighting around the sink/mirror. Elevators were small and busy. The positive things were clean rooms and comfortable bed, and nice shower.

I loved the setup of our room. Beds were separated by a good-sized bathroom, which made for a bit more privacy and comfort for the three adults in our room. Also, the non-street side was extremely quiet.
