Staff made it great
The hotel is very nice, clean and comfortable. For me and my wife, the staff made it a great experience. Peter at the front desk was outstanding, all were exceptionally friendly, we were always welcomed with a door opened for us and a friendly greeting. Great local advice, always a smile, from the maids delivering chocolate at night, to the restaurant staff, etc, not a single bad experience. I cannot compare this hotel to others in the area, as it was my first time in NY. But it exceeded my expectations. It was within walking distance to Times Square, 5th Ave, Macy's, subways, very convenient location.
