We couldn’t have picked a better location to stay. You are less than a 10 minute walk to many of New York’s attractions. There is a subway station less than a minute from the hotel (Herald Square) that is very convenient to use. We were able to check our luggage before we checked in as well as after we checked out allowing us to explore the city without hauling luggage around. Staff were friendly and helpful. The building is old and shows its age. But it’s part of the ambiance. Breakfast was interesting including Vienna sausage, mashed potatoes, salad with ranch dressing, and toast & bagels. We chose to eat elsewhere. There is no lack of food in the area including some great Korean shops. The view out the window was a brick wall with an occasional pigeon. The beds were extremely comfortable which was way more important than the view. If you’re looking for fancy, this isn’t the place. If you’re looking for a great location, friendly staff, and a comfy place to sleep, stay here. We would do it again.
