The only clear advantage this hotel has is the location, in the heart of Manhattan, just a 10 minutes walk from Times Square. The rest I can recall about this hotel was on the bad side. I was expecting something special from the luxury Sofitel chain hotel, however what I got was a rather small room in need of refurbishment. Nothing luxurious at all. We had a room overlooking an ugly backyard. Oh yes, we could see Chrysler building from the window, but that was all about the view. Staff was not friendly, although rather efficient in solving the problems.
Overall, I think that it was a waste of money. I also was very disappointed in Sofitel as a trademark for luxury hotels. It is a far better idea to opt for a cheaper Novotel and still to have same level of comfort and service.
