“In my opinion, this property's Times Square address is a major advantage for families keen on experiencing New York's attractions, and select rooms include family-friendly bunk beds. Onsite dining covers both Vietnamese and Italian options, which I think are suitable for varied tastes. Though some aspects require updating, the location is hard to surpass for those wanting to be in the heart of the action.”
