We have been to many great hotels around the world...

We have been to many great hotels around the world including the Ritz hotel in Paris. This hotel is outstanding for comfort (very modern inside) and for great service. USA Today about 2016 rated this hotel at number nine in their list of best hotels in New York. The hotel did not disappoint. Every staff member that I interacted with could be given a rating of excellent. This is unusual as one would meet many staff members over a period of one week. We were concerned that the location of the hotel was too much in the middle of the action (Times Square) but the place was very quiet and turned out to be very convenient as we tend to walk a lot.

As an interesting bonus, the hotel provided a flight of very nice chocolates after the third day. Not sure if they do this for all customers but that gesture was pretty surprising.

The one other great bonus is that, in my opinion, the rooms are actually underpriced for the quality and service.

Btw, we had three great meals during our stay, Per Se, Chef's Table and Kyo Ya. All three are strongly recommended.
