NYC Hotel near Times Square
Stayed here this past weekend. My first trip to NYC for business. My first confusion is that there are two Double Trees in Times Square - went to the other one first. This one is Times Square South. The room was small but that's expected for NYC. It was pricey but again fully expected in New York. It was clean and the air conditioning worked great which is a huge plus for me. Didn't use the restaurant downstairs but the menu looked fine. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I felt very secure in the hotel. I didn't like the fact that the hotel was down a side street which frankly I didn't feel completely safe if I was walking alone but fortunately was with a group of folks. 
There's a great diner only a short walk away for breakfast called The Tick Tock Diner where we ate. There is also a Dunkin Donuts for coffee and several other small places for snacks like water or chips. 
Positives as well it was not a very long walk to the Empire State Building or the shopping such as Macy's on 34th. Also, a very very short walk to Penn Station. Definitely did not need a cab even with dragging suitcases. 
It was a $30 cab ride to the Staten Island Ferry or the Wall Street area. 
I would stay there again if it suited what i needed for that trip. While I was there on business with a group of writers my family joined me and went sightseeing so this was combination trip.
