My wife and I always stay at the Novotel when we visit New York City (NYC). We love the theater and the hotel's location is right off Times Square in the heart of the theater district. The rooms are clean, well kept, and competitively-priced for NYC. Motif is Danish modern.

Security is excellent. You take an elevator from street level to the main lobby which is on the second floor; that elevator does NOT go to any other floors. Visitors must pass the reception desk before they can reach a separate bank of elevators that take you to the upper floors where guest rooms are located. Someone was thinking here.

Restaurant is on the second level just beyond the reception desk. Food is good but the view of Times Square is better. If necessary, wait to get a window table. Piano bar between reception area and the restaurant is contemporary and music level enables quiet conversation.

I recommend this hotel to my friends and I do to you.
