“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.”

Overall, my stay at this hotel was quite pleasant thanks to its excellent location right near Times Square and friendly housekeeping. The rooms were clean but a bit small and showed signs of aging. I appreciated the strong shower pressure and the constant hot water, but the lack of communication regarding additional charges left me feeling frustrated. Still, I found the price fair considering the prime spot and the amenities provided.
