Everything in midtown is super walkable. 6-7mins to Grand Central, and 10-15 min walk to Times Square are. Off the beaten track enough that it feels safe and convenient. Staff was super kind and knowledgeable.

The hotel was very nice along with the staff. Only downsides were the cleaning staff banging on our door at 9:00 a.m.. and also we were not told about the $10 benefit had to be used by midnight so we lost out on this.
