The hotel is definitely adequate for a stay in NYC, with small rooms but sufficient for those planning to explore outside. The bathroom is tiny, making it a wonder how larger individuals could fit. The location is ideal, very close to Times Square, but in a bustling area.

The rooms, even for a NYC hotel, are on the small size but were enough for our needs. The king bed room is not what one might expect, but it was definitely adequate.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall. The rooms were a bit smaller than usual, but they had everything I needed. The location, just 100 yards from Times Square, made any size complaints trivial. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very helpful and offering valuable tips for dining options. The hotel is perfectly situated near theaters, restaurants, and shopping areas. The dining experience had room for improvement, especially the breakfast selection, but the service and facilities made up for it.

The hotel offers modern, stylish rooms but they could be more spacious. Despite the attractive decor, the noise levels hindered our restful sleep. On the positive side, the location near Times Square and convenient transportation options were beneficial.
Rooms

The rooms have a sensual, modern design but felt cramped, almost like living in a shoebox. The shower in the room lacked privacy, and there was no comfortable seating available. The breakfast was underwhelming compared to standard motel offerings, lacking variety like eggs, bagels, or pancakes.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The room was nice but a bit small for our liking with minimal storage space for clothes. The noise from outside and doors opening and closing in the morning made it hard to sleep. On the bright side, the location was excellent for exploring NYC and had incredibly comfortable beds.
