The location is close to perfect, but at a price. It's very expensive, proably over priced. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the room was very small. Mine had no place to put a piece of luggage. I think they gave me one of the middle rooms, near the elevators and stairwells, that are smaller than normal, but the other rooms didn't look much bigger. The restaurants are very very very expensive, and the room service is crazy. No printed menu, cause they claim they are "going green"... menu is on awkward t.v. screens. Also no in room stationary, no guide to the hotel service, etc... all on the awkward t.v. Maid service wasn't that great. Business center never had working computers, and couldn't print from wifi paid for in room. You had to be charged a second day to print from the busines center computers, at an extra $15 fee, plus $2 per page... but it didn't matter, cause it was never working. But it really is a scam to get you to pay twice per day. It was going to cost me a minimum fee of $15 + $2 = $17 to print out a single confirmation. No nearby internet cafes. There was a 24 hour deli across 53rd street, which had great hot and cold fresh food, 24 hours a day, at reasonable prices. Has big indoor and outdoor seating areas too. There was an expensive Starbucks adjacent to the hotel, and it's about 8 minutes walk to Times Square. It's sort of a "no frills" Hilton. Bedding was very comfortable, and rooms not in the middle of the building have good views; otherwise, you look into the next building, like a wall. I still think it was overpriced, but you can't beat that location and convenience.
