From it's location, is pretty obvious that this will probably the most expensive Econo Lodge you'll ever stay in! It's slap bang in the theatre District of NYC, so it's pretty conveniently located for all of mid-town and with good transit links elsewhere (subways, buses etc).
The rooms were small, and so-so furnished (2 small pillows per double bed, very thin linens, scratchy towels) but functional. I thought the toiletries were awful,and smelt of urinal cakes. In fact they were really unpleasant - I've never used lotion that left my skin stinging!
Free internet and phone calls were a nice touch. The basic breakfast in the morning was ok, but you often had no where to eat it due to a lack of space. It could also do with being available later on the weekends - 6am to 9am is a little early on Saturday/Sunday.
Staff were generally friendly, and apart from the one that checked me in, who appeared to want to be anywhere but there, they all seemed happy to help. Street noise (which seeps in via the air conditioner) is an issue, so invest in some good ear plugs!
Would I return? No, probably not. It's too expensive for what's on offer. I'd rather pay a little more and get more bang for my buck.
