Great basic stay
Clean, quiet (surprisingly so, even with a room facing 8th ave - and I'm a light sleeper), quite large rooms given this is NYC, exactly what you need for a basic stay in NYC. Great for business travelers, or if you want to spend your time out in the city rather than your hotel room - although you could totally do that and feel comfortable (why would you though?!). My bed and pillows were very comfortable, especially compared to their sister complex at the SF airport. Be prepared for rigid check-in/check-out times however as they are busy and generally not able to accomodate. This hotel has high volume and turnover so the rooms are always booked. Hot coffee/tea 24 hrs is a great plus in the NYC cold. Breakfast was less impressive than SF but quite adequate (omlette with processed cheese inside - not my favorite but i scraped the cheese out and the omlette was just fine). Cereal/oatmeal/waffles/juice/activia yogurt are also available. Starts at 6 am, which I appreciated as I needed to get out early. Location is great on 8 ave, felt quite safe. Easy walk to 5th ave, MoMA etc. I walked up from Penn station when I arrived, no issues. Times Square is chaotic - make sure you see the rest of NYC for a better feel of the city, its not all like that.
