We had a fantastic week-long stay here with our small children.
First, the location: It could not have been better. The hotel is in the heart of Times Square and a couple blocks from fantastic restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen. The subway is a block away and there were always waiting taxis as when you got downstairs. It made getting around very easy.
The highlight of our room was its view. It had a floor to ceiling view of Times Square. Despite the perfect view, the room was so well-insulated, we never heard either the street or our neighbors. Our two-bed room was very large by NYC standards and had no problem fitting two full-size cribs (provided by the hotel) and our two strollers. The furniture was clean and relatively up-to-date. There was a 42” HDTV. Our favorite part of the room was the two comfortable chairs by the window – we spent hours sitting in the chairs just looking out at amazing view. If you’re staying at the hotel, definitely ask for and pay for (if applicable?) the rooms overlooking Times Square.
We all around great service. Check-in was a breeze. Our luggage was all handled by the bell staff – we didn’t touch a thing. The cribs we ordered were waiting and set-up in our rooms. Everything was perfectly friendly and efficicent.
Based on reviews we read here, we never bothered with the hotel restaurants or room service. Besides, Hell’s Kitchen is two blocks away – there’s dozens of great restaurants to choose from there. But, here’s a good tip – right at the base of the hotel (on 46th) there’s a little hole-in-the-wall pizzeria called Patzeria. They were perfect if you needed a fast, easy, cheap dinner or lunch in your room. They’re reviewed here:

We will definitely be back to this hotel.
