Couldn’t have asked for a more central location. Times Square literally at the end of the block, 2 blocks from Central Station and Bryant Square, approx 1.5 miles from Central Park. The hotel was clean and the rooms were cleaned daily. We didn’t notice any street sound at all. Walls and doors a little on the thin side, we could hear people walking past the room door, this it wasn’t a problem for us, we were so exhausted at the end of the day, happy to collapse into a very clean and comfortable bed. Bathroom was clean and modern, plenty of hot water and the shower was great to wash away the city grime. Lovely Molton Brown shower gel, shampoo/conditioner and moisturiser which was nice. Plenty of electrical points and USB plugs for charging. Staff at the front desk were so helpful, and always had a smile. The cleaning staff very accomodating, again always with a cheerful greeting and a smile. We really had a great time in NYC, due to the location of the hotel, we would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting NYC the first time

The location
The small size of room, the elevators malfunctioning, and noisier than expected.

When we arrived, the hotel informed us that the room key system was not working and they could not provide us with a functioning key card. We were told that every time we needed to enter our room, we would have to wait for a manager to come and unlock the door manually. We were traveling with family and had to wait a long time after arrival before someone came to open the room. This caused significant inconvenience and stress. Accessing our room depended entirely on staff availability, which is not an acceptable standard for a hotel stay. We just got the key 4 hours before the check out (((

Disappointing
City centre, beside 2/3 train to get you around manhattan. Busy part of the city.
WiFi connection is poor and also a hassle to get connected. It’s also via a site that’s not fully protected which is worrying. The staff haven’t replied to any emails or booking.com chats about a left item. This has been really unhelpful and seems like they don’t care. Not often I post reviews but this hasn’t been a great experience.

Very good value by Manhattan standards. Great location near to Times Square and mid town but quiet. Very clean and recently refurbished rooms with decent bathrooms. Small but with everything you might need for a short trip.
The heater/AC machines are very loud. I turned mine off at night as I don't like AC anyway but if you prefer a cool room the noise might be annoying. Even in 35-degree heat, the room never got too hot for me. The hotel doesn't do breakfast or any food but this wasn't really a problem as there are so many food options nearby.

Clean, modern hotel in an excellent location. I was a bit worried about being close to Times Square as I had been warned about the noise/business but this was far enough down the street that noise wasn’t an issue at all.
Nothing but I would recommend opting for a bigger room if you can afford it! The executive rooms are a perfect size, I imagine the standard rooms are a bit of a squish.

Poor
Staff (Luggage staff and Maintenance gentleman that was sent to our room to help with aircon) were fantastic, friendly and helpful. Location was great for a first-timer in the city, near night spots and subway.
We were given a tiny room despite paying extra for an early check-in. It was impossible to open 2 luggages and navigate the room without bumping into things. Aircon was frozen over so the room was incredibly stuffy. They said that they were full house so we could not change rooms. They had to send the maintenance guy to use a hairdryer to unfreeze it. Toilet clogged on one of the days. It was an extremely unpleasant stay.
