Great hotel, perfect location
Stayed for 7 nights in May / June 2012. Travelled to New York for a week of theatre, so the location couldn't be better. Less than a minute to Times Square and within 10 minutes of every theatre we were seeing shows at.
We had a twin room on the 9th floor overlooking 44th Street. There was a little bit of traffic noise in the mornings, but generally it was very quiet. The room was a fair size (for New York) and the air conditioning was fantastic given the heat outside.
The front desk staff were generally helpful, although there was often only one person on reception so this caused a long wait.
We ate at the Saju Bistro next door one dinner and breakfast, but wouldn't recommend it. The food was okay, if a little overpriced for what it was, but the service was poor.
On our last day, I was feeling unwell and asked what the cost would be for a late checkout. I was kindly offered an extra 2 hours free of charge which was a kind gesture and greatly appreciated.
My only reservation in saying such good things about the hotel is that it may get so booked up now that I won't be able to get a room in the future!
