Fantastic location. I was impressed by the comfort of the rooms, while small it had everything needed. I'm glad there were comfy beds. Coffee maker provided and that's a big plus! Was able to walk to Times Square, Union Square, Flat Iron building, Bryant Park and a few other places. Public transportation is close by. I definitely would stay there again.
