The hotel is conveniently located near many attractions and is great for walking to Times Square and central spots. The rooms are well-equipped but slightly cramped and noisy due to a nearby generator. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff, although housekeeping missed changing the bed linens. The dining experience was below expectations for the price. The facilities are decent but could use some updates.

I had an overall pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were large and roomy, equipped with everything I needed, but unfortunately did not have a safe. They were clean, well-kept, and had all the necessary amenities. The service was friendly and generous, although there was some noise in the morning from cleaning nearby rooms. The location was ideal, close to many attractions yet away from the noise. The dining experience was quite nice but a bit pricey. The facilities were modern and clean with helpful staff.

My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were much bigger than I anticipated for a Manhattan hotel, allowing us to enjoy unique architectural views. Although the room preparation was slightly delayed, the view from our room with two windows made up for it. The location was fantastic, with easy access to key attractions and a pleasant walk to Times Square. Despite the dining experience being subpar, the overall value for money was decent.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while not outdated, were indeed cramped and small for the price. On the upside, the cleanliness of the first room was impressive. The service, especially from Chafik the doorman, was fantastic – they were helpful, friendly, and always happy to chat. The location was convenient with easy access to subways and the center of mid-town, though it could have been more inviting. The dining experience at the hotel's restaurant, Tudor Marketplace, was excellent with a wide variety of foods, but the breakfast on Wednesday was overpriced. Overall, I found the facilities satisfactory, with some room for improvement.
