Superb spot steps from Times Square

Amenities great. Staff very friendly. The first room I booked (by mistake) for me and my teen was just a bit wider than a queen bed, desk and TV were tiny, window overlooked a shaft. I asked to change to a room with 2 beds and Ana was very helpful and got us a new room in mere moments. Location is perfect - steps away from Times Square and many public transportation options.

Nice hotel with a nice price in a great midtown location. The only draw back was there was no microwave or frig in the room.
