Great NYC Experience
From check in to departure we had a very good stay at the hotel. We were a party of 4 in one room and were very pleasantly surprised with the size of our room. 2 bathrooms made things much easier. The view of Central Park from the room was fantastic! The staff were great, housekeeping was excellent. The location of the hotel was suburb. A stone's throw from both Central Park and Times Square with subway stations near by. We caught the train in from JFK and only walked a block to the hotel. Great hotel for our long weekend. Just what we wanted. Would recommend it.

Excellent deal for NYC
Overall, the hotel is not fancy but an excellent deal for a basic room. You don't spend much time in your room while in the city anyway so this fits the need. The location is excellent and a short walk to Times Square and all attractions.

In Hotel
The Park Cafe on the bottom floor of the hotel is an excellent deal for NYC and a good place to catch a quick meal. The food is good and the prices are reasonable.

Accomodating
Some large group had an emergency and so there were no rooms left. They paid to move me over to another hotel across the street and gave me a free upgrade there.

perfect location
Great location for a tourist. It's close to most attractions. The room was a little bit dusty, other than that, it was worth the money we paid for.
