Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers a great view with comfortable queen beds, but the service can be improved. The location is central near Times Square, making it convenient for sightseeing, yet the dining options are varied. The facilities are well-kept, providing a modern and luxurious experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff was extremely friendly. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The location was perfect for exploring the sights of New York, and the facilities were well-maintained.
