The hotel was small but a great place to get your head down, very clean, and even had a little view of the city. The service was very helpful with all our needs, but some staff members seemed indifferent. The location was excellent, close to all the theatres and restaurants we wanted to visit, but the view from our window was of noisy generators. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some limitations on breakfast options. The facilities were adequate, but some areas like the outdated iPod charging station needed attention.

I was pleasantly surprised by the daily room servicing throughout our holiday, which was a nice touch. However, the room size was a bit cramped, and to access our suitcases, we had to rearrange the furniture. The cleanliness was top-notch, thanks to the attentive maids, although the view from the window was limited. The shower, while clean, was on the smaller side.

The hotel is conveniently located near Times Square, making it ideal for exploring the main attractions. The rooms are small but suitable for two people, although a slight smell greeted us upon entering. The service provided varied from a generous discount offer for an extended stay to a disappointing incident with a deposit that was not returned promptly. The location is perfect for easy access to key spots like the famous M&M store in Times Square. Dining options are satisfactory, including an attached Chinese restaurant and continental breakfast choices. The hotel's facilities are decent, catering to basic needs.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The location was fantastic, very close to Times Square, and I would consider staying here again. However, the noise at night was bothersome, and the room amenities like the TV and heat control didn't work. The staff was really friendly and helpful, although there was a bit of confusion with my payment. The dining options were average with lukewarm coffee, and the lifts were inefficient. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The family room was spacious enough for the five of us, which was impressive for New York City. The service was a mix of rudeness from one staff member but overall helpful and pleasant. The location was exceptional, just a stone's throw away from Times Square, making it super convenient to explore the city. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, although the tandoori dishes were a nice surprise.
