Great Location
Just got back from my first trip to NYC. Combined business with pleasure. I gave the hotel an average rating because the rooms were just the usual room with bed and clean sheets. The bathroom needed updating, but the beds were comfortable. The meeting areas were alright, but nothing just gave me a wow factor for the price you have to pay, but as in other reviews the locations is really the best feature of this hotel. Just a few blocks from Times Square, Broadway, Rockefeller Ctr and Central Park. Walked down to NBC Today show and Fox News Network in the mornings to get my Matt Lauer and Steve Doocy fix! Make sure you stop by Magnolia Bakery on your way down the street for a cheap cup of coffee and one of their amazing treats to eat while you wait for the action!
 Found a few treasures within walking distance to get good food at a better price than at the hotel. Faces and Names Bar and Grill out the back door of the hotel on 54th street. There are a few good deli's around too, you just have to check them all out. Ted's across from the Heartland Brewery was a nice place to meet for happy hour for a drink and half price appetizers.
Took the subway to the 911 Memorial which was quick and hassle free. There is easy access to most of the subway lines. Don't be afraid to use them. We bought tickets for the Grayline Hop on and Off Tour, which was okay, but after using the subway once we decided that was a waste of money. Buses were usually crowded and ours actually broke down on Madison Ave. and the driver and guide just abandoned us.
