This hotel is rated three stars but feels more like a four-star establishment. It has been completely renovated and is exceptionally clean. Its location in the theater district is ideal, as it is easily walkable and close to public transportation. Although it offers minimal amenities, the overall experience is excellent.

The hotel was amazing!! Clean and it is located at a very convenient area, close to everything. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We interacted mostly with Carlos, Barbara and Angel and they were very helpful and kind. I highly recommend it specially for those who want to be close to times square and still have a peaceful night of sleep.

Night in the city

Our rooms were very nice and spacious. Might’ve felt a little cozier with an area rug or two. Bathrooms tiny. At check-in, was told the room I booked wasn’t available, even though I booked over a month in advance. But they gave us an additional room at no extra cost,(for 3 adults) and complimentary breakfast! So overall a very pleasant experience.

The hotel is lovely. All areas are kept very clean with minimal tasteful modern decor. Staff and service were polite, professional, and prompt. Room was small, but comfortable and pristine. My reasoning for 4 star verses a 5 star is simply it was not quiet. There was a group of girls hanging out in my hallway after midnight talking and carrying on. Hope they learn to manage that better. I was traveling with teenagers and was respectful in hallway and after hours. Wish everyone was as courteous.

The location of the hotels is good. But we were not able to check in on time, and there was a smell in the room. I hope it can be improved.
