Excellent find!! The staff was very polite & helpful. We arrived a bit early & they let us check in.. Even upgraded our room to a deluxe room with a balcony! The room was not your typical tiny shoebox of a room -- there was space to move around & it was very functional. We loved the platform around the bed that also served as a luggage rack, couch & nightstand. There was a small fridge for our beverages & leftovers, which we loved! The bathroom was very modern with 2 side by side rain shower heads & a 3rd shower head with a hose & multiple settings, the shower had no doors or ledge do pretty much the entire bathroom served as a giant awesome shower. Even better -- the hotel has an awesome pool & lounge area with a swim up bar window , sauna & steam room. The downside was that the pool was scheduled to be closed due to "emergency repairs" on our 2nd day there so we ended up rescheduling our dinner to the 2nd night in order to get in some decent pool & sauna time, disappointing but we were notified at check in so it wasn't a huge deal. The location was perfect - right around the corner from Times Square & just down the street from Penn Station, The Rock & Bryant Park! We will definitely be back anytime we are staying in the city!! Great hotel!!!
