    The not so great things are the room is small and there is no refrigerator. Also the floors in the room are not clean and were very dusty and dirty. There are only 2 elevators so at times it was a long wait. They charge $3 per bottle of water that is in the room

    The great thing is the location of the hotel is close to Time Square, Broadway, Madison Square Gardens and the subway. The hotel staff were all very lovely and friendly.

    The 'view' wasn't actually of the Empire State. To see this view, you'd have to lean outside your window, so it's a bit misleading to sell this room as such when you don't really get to enjoy the view outright. Breakfast quality was rather mediocre. Also, same concerns with pretty much everyone: the thin walls. I literally woke up in the middle of the night thinking someone was in my room when people were just laughing and talking in the hallway; this was how loud it was. Also, I heard someone from their room having a meeting while I was waiting for the elevator. Not a lot of privacy in this sense. But overall a fairly decent hotel.

    Had a pretty good stay. Room was clean and decently furnished. Stayed in a king advertised with a city view and it had a king bed, tub, mini fridge, tv, coffee maker, desk, and safe. Room was smaller than I thought- didn't really have much space to store my luggage. But it was good. Breakfast staff was excellent. Overall, the room was a little bit pricier than what I would figure for its size, but it is in Midtown Manhattan so I guess it makes sense.

    There are only two small elevators, servicing more that 25 or more floors… I don’t know if this is a NYC thing, but it was quite frustrating having to wait for so long. Staff have to use the elevators with their equipment that takes a lot of space, quite often you have to wait for the next one. The staff were not always the friendliest. They were not rude, but they didn’t seem very happy to work there and they weren’t always the most helpful. Staff came into our rooms twice without knowing (they apologised when they released we were in, but it’s common sense that you have to knock..). We also asked for a cutlery once ( I went to reception to get, but they told me they were going to bring it to the room) it took them 35+ minutes to bring it.

    The property is at a very convenient, central location. However, the area is not the nicest, it’s not very clean and well kept. Our room was nice and clean, nothing special though.

    One of our three rooms was not ready at check-in time of 4 o'clock. There was a bizarre, muffled fog horn type noise the entire length of our stay which kept some of us up most of the night. It was not able to be drowned out even by the white noise machine we were using. Also, the elevators are ridiculously slow

    Breakfast was included in the price and it wasn't good at all, I was not happy about that. The elevators where the biggest inconvenience. The whole building only has two elevators and goes up 27 floors, there was a lot of waiting time. There where stairs you can take but they do not lead to the lobby, they lead you outside and you'd have to walk around the building to get to the lobby.

    The Location was perfect, very close to a lot of major locations in Manhattan. The room was a bit small but it was expected, it's New York. The bed was so comfortable, that alone would make me come back.

    Thought the price was very high once I saw the property. If I wanted to drink the water provided, it would have been $3.00? Only 2 elevators servicing 26odd floors and one was out of commission on one of my days there. Hotel should mention security deposit when booking. No mention of that antwhere

    Centrally located, close proximity to Times Square, Subways, etc
