helpful staff clean hotel great location small area long wait luggage assistance

William was very helpful at the front desk. I thought he was really courteous. The staff kept the hotel clean, and I found them very nice. The location was great. It was just a few blocks from Times Square and subway stations.

The breakfast area was a bit small. It did not really accommodate all the guests at once. The elevators took a long time. This made things a little inconvenient. I found there was no help available for carrying luggage. I was traveling with quite a few bags.

average stay with some drawbacks

noisy air conditioning limited seating

the air conditioning unit was quite old and noisy. it made it difficult to sleep comfortably. additionally, the soundproofing wasn't great, i could hear a lot of street noise. also the breakfast area was too small for the number of guests and there were never available tables.
