Location, location, location - the key to a quick NYC visit
I stayed here for two nights in May 2012. It's unremarkable by US Marriott Courtyard standards however that means the brand is upheld nicely with complimentary wifi in the room, plastic breakfasts served in the basement in the mornings and the minimum of staff interference, welcome or engagement with the guests.
The rooms are small, clean and comfy - a shower but no bathtub, and no real view from the window (this is after all NYC). However the location is great for those wanting to see Times Square, Central Park and maybe go to the theatre.
So if you're passing through NYC, you could do much worse.
