We stayed in room 2417 October 2 to 5. The hotel is located on 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues just a few blocks from Time Square and within steps of Madam Trousseau’s Wax Museum and the New Amsterdam Theatre. We found the room to be spacious and clean. Even though our room faced 42nd Street, it was very quiet. The room contained a comfortable king bed, writing desk with two chairs, a chair and foot rest, flat panel TV, mini-bar, coffee maker, etc. There was no on room safe. The bath room was clean, had a tub/shower and was supplied with three sets of large towels. The air conditioner is very quiet and the thermostat can be adjusted to your desired temperature. Check in was a snap. We found staff friendly and eager to please. Traveler’s tip: If arriving at JFK as a couple or family take a licensed taxi from the airport to the hotel. The fare is a flat rate $45.00 + tip and will get you to your room much faster than one of the shuttles. I prepaid $38.00 (for two one way) for one of the major shuttle companies and the trip took us over two hours because of pickup and drop off of other passengers. To me saving $7.00 was not worth the extra time sitting in a mini-van. For those not wishing to pay hotel prices for the mini-bar libations there is a package liquor store within a short walk near 39 Street and 8th Avenue.
