Without exaggerated expectations, we were pleasantly surprised by the hotel.
The location is fabulous, a 10 minute walk to Times Square, 1 minute to the subway. Many restaurants, bars and delis in the immediate vicinity. Hells Kitchen is a great, lively neighborhood. Right on the corner at 2 Bros Pizza they had the tastiest pizza we've ever had for $ 1 a piece! Definitely try :-)
We had a large room with all the amenities: huge bed, kitchenette, large TV, free wifi, safe, plenty of storage space, desk. Everything clean and relatively modern. The bathroom was also big and clean. Room service every day. It was relatively quiet by New York standards.
Another highlight was the American breakfast. Delicious! In contrast to other reviewers, we always got a seat and except for one time we were lucky with the elevators.
Conclusion: gladly again, New York great, hotel great!
