Great location for Broadway plays
The location was perfect for our trip to NYC. We could not get hot water in the evenings to take a shower. Carlos, the manager was extremely friendly. He was always greeting and helping guests.

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.
