The location is fine. There are plenty other hotels near or in Times Square to choose from that are much better. We checked in Wed night, went up to our room, and could only hear blaring music from the bar right below. Changed to new room there was no tv in there, so had to change a third time. This room wasn't any better, but I was so sick from moving around I thought we'll just stay. The room was really hot, no way to make it cooler. We had to open the window at night, which isn't advised in NYC. The reason the room is so hot is because hot water boiler is just below the room we were in (206). Taking a shower was a nightmare!! The hot water is scalding hot and we couldn't even touch the nobs. There was no way to get a good temperature...it was either scalding hot or freezing cold, never anything in between. We left it on for 20 min, tried adjusting the temperature using the sink taps at the same time, still no avail. The staff were accomodating enough. They weren't super nice, but would always help out when asked. Other downsides: You have to pay $10/day for wi-fi and $10/day for breakfast which consists of cereal, some pastries, coffee/tea. We just walked around the corner to the local deli instead. Bed was nice, cleaned everyday. That's about the only good thing. The bar downstairs was being renovated on during the day but open at night, and they served good drinks and service was good. We didn't try the sushi restaurant also attached. There were 8 in our group, so four other rooms and most had the same shower experience as us, but not quite as bad. Rooms were all the same size...small to fit a queen bed, one desk with t.v. and then washroom. That's it.
