Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is superbly located near the heart of Times Square, making it perfect for theater-goers and city explorers. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, though a quieter room may be preferable due to morning traffic noise. The service is exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure guests' comfort and needs are met. The dining options, while not extensive, provide a satisfying start to the day for exploring NYC. The overall value for the price paid is excellent.
The hotel was perfect for our needs and the location, offering sweet and very comfortable rooms. Though there might be some noise early morning due to occasional building works nearby, it didn't happen often. The sandalwood and orange toiletries in the bathroom added a nice touch to the well-furnished but slightly small rooms.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The room was incredibly comfortable, just as described. It was spacious enough to host a party and the bathroom was well-equipped with a great shower. Having a fridge and a bar for a nightcap would have been a nice addition. The service was top-notch, from toasting bagels at breakfast to organizing a set-price car to the airport on my last day; they were extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotel's location was perfect, steps away from Times Square and within walking distance of many attractions. The dining experience was icing on the cake with wine and cheese in the afternoons. Overall, a fabulous experience!
My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Times Square, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms, although a bit small and dark with no view, were cozy, immaculate, and comfortable. The service was outstanding; from the front desk to the cleaning staff, everyone was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The central location made it perfect for dining, shopping, and enjoying Broadway shows. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, offering a variety that was much more than the usual fare. Overall, a great value for a stay in the city.
I had such a great time at this hotel! The wine and cheese events in the early evening were perfect for meeting new friends. The rooms were comfortable and very clean, especially the family room with plenty of space for everyone to spread out.
I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The compact room was surprisingly clean and provided a good size for comfort. The service was exceptional, with staff like Victor and Ashley being incredibly helpful and friendly. The location couldn't have been better, offering a serene atmosphere just off the bustling Times Square. The dining options were satisfying, ensuring I never went hungry between meals. Overall, a highly recommended once in a lifetime experience in the heart of New York.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit loud, but the super King size bed was a plus. Enjoyed the evening wine, cheese, and pastries. The service was friendly, and the location was amazing right in the heart of Times Square. The dining was convenient, especially the second floor lounge. However, the vacuuming could be more frequent in the rooms.
