Average: Some good points, some not so hot.

1. Upside. It is centrally located in the theatre district and Times Square, a block or so from a subway stop, has nice restaurants and pizza joints nearby, so if you want that New York hustle-bustle, you’re in the thick of it here. 2. Downside. A fire station is on the corner. No disrespect to our finest first responders, but you will find any time the engines roll—and roll they do—you’ll hear about it in your room no matter where you are in the hotel. 3. Downside. Do not stay on a low floor if you are there over the weekend. The street noise is endless. If you do, bring a white noise machine to cancel it out. 4. Downside. No phone to front desk in the room. It would have been good to have to complain to the front desk when a noisy guest was pounding—and I mean pounding!—on a door down the hall at 4 a.m. 5. Upside. Room was clean, shower got hot eventually. 6. Downside. Housekeeping left the unsightly service cart and the towel and sheet bundles out in the hallway all the time. 7. Downside. Main floor men’s bathroom water spouts kept falling out of their sockets. Bathroom was clean overall. 8. Upside. Bellman and Front Desk service was excellent—polite, friendly, professional. Overall, would I stay there again? Probably not. I’d pay up for a better hotel if one was available. This time, there wasn’t, so I compromised.

Disliked: Amenities
When we got to our room, we opened the door and there was someone asleep in the bed. Went to the front desk and the worker apologized saying that his “coworker must have made a mistake.” The rooms do not look like the pictures and the windows are dirty with no view. The rooms are also very humid and the AC barely works. Very small bathroom/shower space. None of the ice machines work and same thing with the vending machines. Only worth the money because of the location.

The room was clean and staff was nice but the building was very dated and the room was tiny. The bathroom door didnt open all the way as it hit the toilet. It did the job for a quick weekend to see a show on Broadway but will probably find somewhere else to stay next time.

We’ve stayed here several times. It’s convenient and good location. The elevator situation is always a bit of a pain, but for the price it’s a good place to be able to explore Manhattan from.

Though I "upgraded" from two double bedsd to a king bed with a bunk bead, I could not be happier with the overall location of the hotel. Amazingly quiet for a hotel that is opposite Times Square, and near so many important landmarks, including Carnegie Deli! A great glass of guiness is to be had just next door at a fine Irish pub. The staff at the front desk is efficient, courteous, and smart.

Location was great, housekeeper was polite and friendly. It was a place to lay our heads after busy days, but we never felt comfortable. Only 1 air con worked, the one that did was noisy, shower was not designed well, it was tired looking, used the stairs more than the elevators, front of house staff were grumpy and tried to swindle us by ordering a black cab to La Guardia airport for $100, we ended up booking a taxi for $55.
