I travel to NYC on business and after trying many hotels, I prefer to stay here. While traveling on business the location for me is mostly a con due to the overwhelming humanity in Times Square however everything about this hotel is so positive. Brought my family of four adults to stay in two rooms for three nights for a vacation. For vacations the location is awesome - close to theater (on- and off-broadway). Even for my business travel the hotel positives far outweigh the location. Friendly and accommodating staff, very service oriented, large suites. Rooms are quiet with thick windows in spite of the bustle of Times Square. Best bet if you are looking for a taxi is to walk to 6th ave rather than deal with Times Square traffic. Don't expect a nice spacious lobby like the Waldorf or happening nightlife scene in the lobby bar but it is great for drinks and appetizers (I like the cheese plate). Try the nearby W hotel for a bar scene. They put the spaciousness into the suites which is where I want it. Within walking distance of some museums (e.g. MOMA). Again I stay at this hotel about once a month and will continue to do so.
