The location is fantastic! Half a block from Times Square, easy to get everywhere. This is the kind of place that you stay in when you are not spending a lot of time in the room. We were there to change for dinner and to sleep. For that purpose, it was perfect. The hotel does not have any amenities (ie no pool, or restaurant) The rooms are clean, newly renovated, but small. The staff is paired down but friendly. Perfect budget hotel, clean and recently renovated for a quick getaway to New York.

Nice, but could be better

Room was very nice and clean. Location great. Got a few messages about upgrading room, which I ended up doing because the option included what was supposed to be with Street View, but we weren't given one which was the whole reason for taking the upgrade. Also was weird having to pay for a refrigerator if we wanted one, and not sure what kind of hotel has an ice machine and no ice buckets, having to use a garage bag for ice. For the price of the room, feel like a fridge and an ice bucket is a small accommodation, but not these days I guess... Would stay again if price better and nothing else available since the room was nice. Staying in same area again in a few weeks, but trying elsewhere.

Staff was wonderful. Room was clean. Location was close to everything in walking distance which was perfect. Room didn’t have a view of the city. Staff came up right away to assist with the phone not working and to hook up the rented fridge.

The location is excellent. The hotel room was cleaned excellently each day and the housekeepers were so friendly. Things we were not happy with - when greeted upon arrival, the front desk man was not friendly or welcoming at all. He had an attitude like he hated his job which made us immediately feel uncomfortable. The walls are also very thin so we got very little sleep during our three night stay because all night we would be woken up my doors slamming or people talking in the hallways. When you book the room, it states you will receive two beverages per day…this does not happen either. We were told to go to the 2nd floor if we wanted a cup of water. We were expecting a bottle of water in our rooms each day like a normal hotel. Finally the water pressure for the shower is extremely low so it takes twice as long to take a shower and rinse shampoo and conditioner from your hair.

I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again. It’s clean and conveniently located but it’s way too noisy. You are not going to get any sleep, especially around weekends. The walls are paper thin and the doors let the noise in from the narrow corridors between the rooms. You hear everything that’s going on in the rooms next door. We’ve been constantly woken up by drunk people stumbling outside the door, screaming and slamming their doors at 3 in the morning. If you have kids, don’t even think about it! The kind of noise that they’ll hear, let’s just say, is not PG!
