Great Location close to Times Square
We booked this hotel online. They had a special offer with 10% discount until end of February. Our stay was in the week were February ended. Through the website it was not possible to book further than February with the discount - I therefore had to "make up" our stay of two seperate bookings. To make sure that we wouldn't have to change the room in the middle of the week I emailed the hotel: no problem...
When we arrived our booking was recognised, but when I wanted to have confirmed the we wouldn't have to change the room during the week I was told that we would have to. I got a little annoyed and referred to my email, but they didn't have that anymore. After a few minuttes where we got more and more upset suddenly it was possible to change to another room category (upgrade) at no costs and the all was fine. Not the best start when you arrive (after an 8 hour flight). Nevertheless, the room was ok, spacious and very clean. The room was facing the street (3rd floor), but we rarely heard any noise.
The breakfast is a complete joke in this hotel. Other reviewers had noticed that as well. It would be better if they would reduce the room price with $5 or $10 and leave out the breakfast. We tried it a few times and had breakfast somewhere else most of the days.
Location if very good - less than 5 min walk from times square and many theatres. The hotel was ok - served our purpose. Please note that there isn't much infrastructure attached to the hotel (small fitness room - looked ok) - not much else.
If you're looking for a good central location and you find the rice ok, it's worth going for. However, I don't think we'll return...
