The hotel had some positives like a great location near the subway and supermarkets, but also had drawbacks such as small basic rooms that lacked working WiFi. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining options were overpriced compared to nearby establishments. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is located centrally and close to the subway, making it easy to get around Manhattan. My room was quite small, which is expected in New York, but it was spotlessly clean. The service was super professional, with an easy check-in and check-out process. The staff were helpful and friendly, ensuring a comfortable stay. However, the dining options were overpriced and disappointing, although there was a nearby restaurant. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, considering the great location and cleanliness.

I had a memorable stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, but they felt a bit like bird cages. The service was exceptional, with the staff quickly addressing all my issues and being friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location was convenient, just 30 minutes away from Times Square and close to a subway station, making it easy to explore the city. The dining options were satisfactory, with delicious sausages available. Overall, I enjoyed my time here.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable, and I had access to all the gym and pool facilities at the hotel. The only downside was overhearing an argument in the hallway, which was a bit unsettling.
