Easy, fast check in. Valet parking was great. I love this location because you are away from the hustle and bustle on Times Square, but close enough to walk or take a quick uber ride. The room was so cute and very clean. Staff also very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent, clean room with extremely helpful staff. Location is right next to the 6 Train and a Starbucks is next to that, and lots of local spots for dinner, late night snacks and drinks for the room. We’ve stayed here nearly a dozen times and have made it a home away from home.
