Firstly and what most people would like to know, location. The hotel is on the eastern edge of 'Hells Kitchen' and from the front door to times square is a 10 minute stroll.
Check in is painless and there are numerous(human) staff on call if anything was to fail. The room was as advertised and had everything you could need with the deal clincher being free wi-fi! We never felt like we were cramped and the bed, although quite hard, provides a very comfortable nights kip. The communal drinks area was ideal and saved the usual hotel hassle of getting coffee and water without forking out. The breakfast of muffins and hot drinks is good enough to get you out of the door and exploring but can become busy and seating a premium.
Now for the warnings; for us these provided no problems however for some I can imagine they would be a slightly bigger issue. Firstly on Friday and Saturday nights the restaurant becomes a nightclub after 10pm. Not a nightclub in the UK sense of fighting, being sick and shouting but what actually looks like a pretty sophisticated affair. Its worth the warning though as when you enter the main lobby it can catch you off guard to see people cutting shapes by reception. We did notice however, even though we are fairly close to the action we couldn't hear anything from our room.
Secondly is the toilet situation, it can be slightly unnerving visiting the loo when your other half is 3 feet away behind a curtain! Enough said
All in all, an excellent hotel and would recommend to younger couples/groups in particular.
