Location, Location, Location!!!!
I booked this hotel by a bidding third party website, and when the name was published, I was a bit concerned, as I immediately went to Tripadvisor to see the reviews. All my worrying was for nothing. The hotel was in the perfect location. Subway stops at the corner, drugstore, Starbucks next door, nice little deli next door, Time Warner mall across the street, 10 minute walk to Time's Square, 3 minute walk to Central Park. The room...I traveled with my 14 year old daughter, and 20 year old daughter, and had 2 double beds on the 23rd floor. We were not bothered by noise from the hotel. We had a nice view of 7th ave, and no noise from the windows. The bathroom wasn't spacious, but it wasn't teeny tiny. The girls had plenty of room to do their hair and makeup. The room itself was quite cute. It wasn't extremely spacious, but there was plenty of room for 4 suitcases, and the 3 of us to move around comfortably. The room was also extremely clean. I have stayed at numerous midpriced hotels in NYC, and this was one of the better ones so far. Far more roomy and clean for the same price as other hotels. The lobby was beautiful, as well as the garden area. The only down sides were the dark hallways, and at the Lobby Bar $14 for a glass of wine. The staff was friendly and helpful, and if you can over look the dark halls and bring your own wine, and keep in mind you are staying NYC, you will be quite happy with this hotel.
