not a bad place to sleep in the city that never sleeps
This monstrous, full service atrium hotel offers rooms with Times Square views. A room on a high floor allows for viewing the constant activity below without too much noise. We took our teenager for her first trip to the city and stayed here in February. She loved the high energy location, walking to and from Broadway shows through Times Square, and hopping on the glass elevators and soaring up through the lobby. Personally, I prefer other parts of the city, and smaller more intimate properties. But, this was a good choice for us for this particular trip.
Our room was large by NYC standards for about $300 per night (Presidents weekend). But, it was not particularly clean. We found trash and lost belongings under the furniture. 
The concierge desk helped us with dinner reservations twice and, despite knowing we were going with a 16 year old girl, they sent us to a campy Moulin Rouge-themed French restaurant one night where the food wasn't bad but our daughter was seated directly beneath a life-sized nude painting. I would have appreciated a little more info before being sent in that direction!
