Great Location, Great Value, Great Service
On a recent trip to NYC my daughter and I spent 8 nights at the Econo Lodge, Times Square. It was located 2 blocks from the heart of Times Square and was one block from a street filled with neighborhood restaurants and was in a very safe, quiet area. The price of the stay was extremely reasonable, especially compared to other hotels in the area. The staff was very accomodating and helpful. Saloom, the 3rd shift bellman, was wonderful. Whenever I was out in front of the hotel, he would stand outside, at the entrance, to make sure no one bothered me. That was way above and beyond the call of duty! A continental breakfast was included, but was very basic. The biggest downside was the room size, which was extremely small, but space is at a premium in Manhattan! I wasn't in NYC to sit in the room, so that wasn't a big deal. I would definitely recommend this hotel to those on a budget.
