Lovely hotel with a perfect location. The hotel was just a few blocks and a short walk from Times Square, lots of little deli's and restaurants nearby and only a couple of blocks from the metro stop which takes you all the way down to the world trade center site, with stops at penn station and spring street for Soho shopping along the way - nice and easy to navigate. It's just an all round superb location.
The hotel itself is a little dated in decor etc but very clean, housekeeping did a great job every day, clean towels, clean bedding. We didn't eat in the restaurant or use the pool so can't comment on those - mainly because we wanted to explore and go out to eat and just didn't get the time to use the pool as we had such a jam-packed 5days with tons of sightseeing and shopping to do.
We've stayed at the skyline before (about 5 years ago) so knew how good the location was already and knew the hotel was decent the last time we stayed and we weren't disappointed. If you're expecting luxury you will be disappointed but it's basic, clean and has super friendly staff (except one misery guts we encountered!). A great base to sleep, get changed and store your shopping during your stay. There's so much to do and see in New York, how much time do you really spend in your hotel....??!
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a decent priced hotel, clean and with a great location.
