Stayed at this hotel for 9 days with my parents. The room although basic suited our needs for our first trip to NYC, it was clean and the pillows are the best i have ever slept on!!!!. Our room had great views looking onto the Empire State building and beyond. The hotels location is fab- 5 mins from Macys and about 10mins into Times square. The Tick Tock diner is a great base for breakfast, but we also went to the Starlight diner and the Stage door diner which are both located close to the hotel on 8th Ave.
Whilst in New York be sure to visit Jersey Gardens outlet mall which has great discounted shops, take your passport with you to the customers services desk and you will recieve a great discount booklet!! The bus to the mall departs every 30mins from Port Authority bus station ( 42nd st) and a return ticket is only $12!!!
We bought a 7 day subway pass which was great value at only $29, as you can travel all around Manhatten with this. Be sure to get a map for the subway as the stations are not signposted very well and it can sometimes be hard to ensure you are at the right platform. I think New York should maybe look at London's tube system as this is so easy to travel around!!
Overall though this is a great hotel and i will be staying here again on my next visit to New York.
