The good part.
Pretty much as I expected from the trip advisors reviews e.g. area a bit tacky but they seem to be trying hard to make a better enviroment planting trees along the street etc.
I experienced no problems going to and from the hotel so don't worry about that.
The location is very good 2 mins of Times Square. The staff seemed very pleasant
and efficient (with one exception). For all the negative comments below I still had a great time in New York and would stay at the hotel again but not on the 4th floor.
The bad part.
The rooms were on the 4th floor just above the hotels 8 venting fans! that coupled with the Port Authority across the street make it pretty uncomfortable noise wise but again reading the reviews it should come as no suprise. Although I suspect the 4th floor rooms
are the worst in the hotel (environment wise)they were comfotable clean and tidy.
The really bad part,
This is the one exception, Don't leave anything of value in the room it will get lifted. I lost money and jewelry (of no great value but thats not the point) and I blame myself for forgetting to put it in the room safe but it always comes as a shock that hotel staff have the bare faced cheek but I guess it happens anywhere. But i'm not going to let it put me of.
