The location is very good. The room was quite small. The a/c did not work well - the staff was nice and they gave us a box fan, but it was too hot and could not get much sleep.

Easy, fast check in. Valet parking was great. I love this location because you are away from the hustle and bustle on Times Square, but close enough to walk or take a quick uber ride. The room was so cute and very clean. Staff also very nice. I would definitely stay here again.
