"The lobby is nice to get you in the door and then the rooms are cramped, dated, cold, poorly ventilated, and in dire need of a paint job. The location is excellent but it’s fundamentally a bait-and-switch. "

"The room, albeit small, was clean. The bathroom was very small, as well. The convenience of this property is it's location. The air conditioner in our room was a window unit, and it did not work, at all. However, we did not really need it, because we could raise the windows and it was not too hot while we were there. In fact, the property cut the heat on and there is a small radiator in the bedroom and the bathroom. The worst part of the bathroom was that there was minimal hot water. The shower got warm, but never hot. I have found this to be typical of most older hotels around Times Square. The staff were extremely courteous and professional - they greeted us everytime we entered and left. There is a Duane Reade and a market on the same block, which was an added bonus. Again, this is not a fancy hotel and its biggest perk is its location. The hotel was exactly what i expected, and exactly what we needed. We did not intend to spend much time at the hotel, as we were there to visit NYC, go to Broadway, and to sight-see and do all the touristy things. We needed a good location to sleep at night, and this fit the bill perfectly."

"Good location but no frills. No coffee or kettle in the room. Very small bathroom with shelf hanging over the sink that made it difficult to wash up. Charged $4/bag to hold them for a few hours after checkout. $15 credit at the market was a nice perk though. "

"After staying in a few hotels near Times Square, this is our favorite! The location is PERFECT!!! The icing on the cake includes: the great free breakfast and the kind, friendly and professional staff — which includes everyone from the front desk to housekeeping to the kind folks working in the dining rooms. Thank you, one and all!!! We can’t wait to come back. "
