We were impressed by the size of the room for the rate charged and the consistent congeniality of the desk staff. The hotel is nicely located half a block from Times Square and easy walking distance to theatres and restaurants. There is a Whole Foods five minutes away to stock up on food for eating in, and the room has a full-sized refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, and washer and dryer. Direct tv gives access to wide range of programming. Room was clean, shower great, and beds comfortable. As in all NYC hotels I’ve ever stayed in, you will hear some street sounds, but they did not disturb our sleep. Staff was very attendant to our needs.
