I think I read a couple of reviews that mentioned the rooms were on the small side, but I want people to clearly understand what they mean by small. If you have ever traveled through Europe...that kind of small. The rooms have space for the bed and a small desk... no extra space. I stayed in two rooms during my visit due to a problem with the heating, so I think the rooms size is based on which side of the building you are on. If you are book in a room to the right of the front desk, that appears to be an older tower, so tiny rooms and tiny bathrooms. To the left of the front desk the room was much bigger, closer to standard size, as was the bathroom. The bathroom in the room on the left tower also included a jazzuzi tub.
I did enjoy my stay at this property, they had thick bath towels, nice bath products, clean rooms and contemporary design. The staff was very accomodating, especially when we got back to the room at 1am and the heat seemed very low. They immediately came to fix it. When it was 2am and getting colder we called again and they brought a space heater to fix the situation and then called me back in the morning to advise that they were going to switch us to a new room because of the issues with the heater. Nice follow through, I didn't have to call to remind them.
The location is perfect, a ton of great restaurants on 9th street and of course Time Square on 7th. Quick and tasty breakfast at Cosmic Diner just around the corner on 8th. All in all, it's a great hotel for the price, just try to get a room in the wing to the left of the front desk (if you are facing the front desk). See you next time.
