To get your head down to sleep rather than lounge about in your room type hotel. For us being four, the room was literally two beds in it and a bathroom but we had enough room for our suitcases and all the paraphernalia that comes with holidaying. It was just a short stay in NY before moving on to another stay which was an actual holiday rather than city sightseeing. The hotel is slap bang in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go so location was what sold us. It was perfect! It was however loud at night (which we expected anyway!), the air conditioning unit was right next to one of the beds (which were a little uncomfortable), but we were so tired from our days out and jet lagged, we knew nights would be a bit difficult/restless!!!
Overall if you want somewhere that is well priced, has a brilliant location for Times Square, Broadway, together with lots of places to visit, I’d definitely recommend it. If, however, you want luxury, I wouldn’t. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we felt safe. If we visit NY again, I would stay here without hesitation!
