Amazing!!

Location was just perfect close walk to just about everything. Service was amazing. We left for a morning walk and once we came back our room was already serviced. The nightly turn around service was a very nice touch! The best and pillows were amazing loved everything about our stay and will definitely stay here again next time we visit New York.

Staff were rude and discriminatory, They gave us a room with broken shades, plumbing issues and a small window with scaffolding and told us that this is an upgrade to what we had paid, they also said that all rooms have one small window and have the plumbing noises, very condescending attitude

This was the second time we had visited since my wife introduced us to this hotel 10 years ago. She was apprehensive about returning and she was right. It is still unfriendly, overcrowded and impersonal. And of course being located in the middle of Times Square means you are in the midst of madness. Whilst we could tolerate the busy location, it was the room we were offered as the "Presidential Suite" that was the biggest shock. We have been in a number of Presidential Suites in some of the top hotels in the world - and this fell well below our expectations especially given the price point charged. The shower, for example, had an ill-fitting shower curtain (not even the dignity of a basic floor-length shower curtain, never mind a proper shower screen or shower door given the type of room we were paying for). Additionally, there was an odd seat affixed to the wall in the shower which was all very bizarre and simply did not fit in with the rest of the bathroom. Infact, the aesthetic of the entire Suite was dark and uninviting and certainly shocking for the price paid. The bed had ants in it. And corners of the hallway had dirty piles of laundry unattended, as we were entering the Suite, which obviously left a bad first impression. They also continue to charge our bankcard $1.07 at random intervals since we checked out, without any explanation. What (in a supposed 5 star hotel in New York) costs $1.07 to keep charging us at random intervals without explanation?

The room was good - clean, quiet, and comfortable with a great layout and a nice bathroom. Water pressure was strong, and we especially liked the body wash and shampoo provided. The building has scaffolding outside that stays lit at night, and unfortunately, the blackout blinds didn’t work, so it was a bit bright. That aside, it was a lovely stay. The rooftop is a nice touch, and the property includes a lounge, two restaurants, and a gym. Perfect for a one-night stay with solid amenities.
