    When we arrived no one helped us with the luggage that we had to carry them to the lobby for check in, they didin't provide water in the room that you had to go down at the reception to ask for water . There was no hot water for shower we had to call maintenance they told us it take time to get hot water which took almost everytime 30 min or more for hot water, crab and go for each room per day 10$ but most of the stuff is very expensive either 8 $ 6$ or 12$ so you won't be able to use 10$ either to pay extra , i recommend to add stuff with these prices 6$ 4 $ . the room is small you barely can storage your luggage .

    The location is really good, the check in process was fast . they have luggage storage for you when you check out , which is great . the guy at the door helped us order a taxi to the airport .

    One of the elevators was not working, causing the service of the other two elevators to be slow. There were long waits for the lift everyday of my stay.

    I love the location of the hotel. It is in the heart of the city and close to the shops and Broadway shows. The rooms are super cozy, clean and the staff are always helpful!

    We took a room with a cut-out for a storage closet in the hallway, so extra tiny. It was fine but if that matters to others u may want to ask at check- in.

    Staff were friendly, Super-easy to get to Times Sq. and Broadway theaters.

    This hotel is in a great central location. The staff were very friendly and super helpful. The rooms are on the smaller side, but it was great for just the two of us. I saw a few historical comments about elevator issues; but, we did not experience any issues. Getting into the elevators, at the ground level, is a little cramped. If we visit NYC again, we will definitely consider staying here again.

    The beds could be a little more comfortable.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room wasn't ready when we got there so they gave the adults a free drink and kids a free app at the bar while we waited. Our room was quiet. It was a great location.

    I did not like that the tv was outdated. Nobody wants to watch regular channels anymore. They need to add streaming asap. Breakfast was also not good…I asked for eggs scrambled with cheese they literally threw two slabs of cheese on my eggs and hoped it melted which it didn’t. Bacon and potatoes were soggy.

    The convenience of everything. The staff was very friendly

    Our coffee maker was broken, but we got it replaced immediately.

    The location is as good as it gets, right in the thick of Times Square. We had an amazing view of the Empire State Building. The room was clean and up to date and the bed was very comfortable.
