Great location but hotel disappointing
The hotel is in an excellent location, right by Times Square - which is great as long as you don't intend spending any time in the hotel itself. The room was very small (I managed to bruise my foot by walking into the bed whilst trying to navigate my way from one side to the wardrobe). It had old style sash windows which failed to seal out the cold, cooking smells from the nearby restaurants and, of course, the noise. It faced a huge neon billboard and the curtains were too thin to keep it out - I ended up hanging a scarf over the window to try and get some sleep. I could only find one usable power point - the rest were so old I wondered if they were safe. There were no in-room tea/coffee facilities. But at least it had a bed and a hot shower so I was grateful for that. The staff were friendly enough but I didn't stay around in the hotel during the day to test the facilities such as fitness room or bar etc - although it did have a useful little shop for purchasing water or snacks. To be honest, I was glad to escape each morning to the Starbucks across the road and meet my colleagues who were staying at a nearby hotel. It was relatively cheap compared to the other hotels in the area, but you get what you pay for!
