Great location but the rooms are poor especially ours!
We were stopping over for 2 nights on a room only basis before going onto a cruise. 2 nights was enough and if we were staying longer, we would have asked to move rooms, or failing that, to another hotel. When we visited, scaffolding was all around the building and extensive works were being carried out. The inside had been refurbished, but despite using good quality materials, the workmanship was poor. The room was small, but the biggest issue was the large industrial fan 2/3 floors below our room window. When I say large, it was, I should imagine, 3 to 3.5 metres across and it would turn on at intermitant times throughout the night. Luckily, we had ear plugs and we were very tired and it is for that reason we got a good nights sleep. The corridors we covered in street scene murals which did nothing for me. I felt it looked like the painted sheet hoarding you would expect to see around building sites. The reception staff were abrupt and not receptive of us asking additional question, however, the Porters were helpful and pleasant. The location was great and less than a 5 minute walk to Times Square. If I could have a better room without a fan and close my eyes walking down the corridors (I joke) then I may be tempted to stay again.
