The hotel location is perfect if you are looking for a budget-friendly hotel very close to Times Square and many New York destinations. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful to hold baggage when we showed up early.
We booked two rooms for 4 people, 2 adults and 2 older teenage children. We were placed together on what proved to be a busy time for the hotel.
Only two issues to consider. First, the room a/c worked well, but was very loud. And since it cycles on and off frequently to maintain temperature, some of us found it very distracting, especially at night.
Second, we stayed on the top floor and our room's shower left a little to be desired. I am not sure if it was the floor we were on, or there were issues with the shower itself, but the water pressure in the shower was almost minimal. Our second room did not appear to have the same issue. To be fair, we did not address with the hotel as neither issue was severe. We just chalked it up to the charm of staying in an older hotel.
That being said, the hotel was perfectly adequate and fit well within our budget, while keeping us close to the action.
