7.4/10

I had a really convenient stay in this hotel, conveniently located close to Times Square and public transportation. The room was small yet functional, perfect for a quick trip. The service was quick and efficient, although the added resort fee was a bit frustrating. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option in the heart of the city, this place could be for you, but don't expect a lot of room to move around.

The facility had modern touches and was kept clean, but amenities were minimal given the overall size of the hotel.
