Pricey But Good
Stayed here for 3 nights last May. The hotel is very centrally located and almost opposite Madison Square Gardens. Times Square is about 10/15 minutes stroll up the Avenue. It is also very close to Penn Station from whence you can go anywhere. We arrived very late due to airplane problems and we were tired and hungry having come from San Francisco. The staff at reception were very efficient and we were booked in quickly. They informed us that we could get food in the bar which is at street level. We went to the bar and indeed got the required meal which was most welcome. The room was excellent with a large comortable bed. There was even a little space off the bedroom which served as an office and where free wi fi was available. This space also contained a desk and swivel chair. The downstairs bar was excellent with a great atmosphere on both of the nights we visited it. On the 2nd night the place was virtually overrun with celebrating NY Rangers fans who had just won a big match across the road in Madison Square Gardens. This crowd were served with great efficiency by the two bartenders who also found time to keep our glasses topped up.
The staff were very efficient and every morning we went to the inquiry desk for directions to somewhere they were able to advise us instantly and usually provide us with a map. There are lots of delis etc within a short walk. The in room air conditioning was good and not too noisy. The rooms seem to be fairly well sound proofed as we heard no noise during our stay. I enjoyed my few days in the city but I have to say it was pricey.
