Luxury hotel in the perfect Times Square location. Warm, inviting staff. Sexy small rooms.
We had an amazing stay. The hotel was gorgeous, clean and everything we could have asked for. The free breakfast buffet was a great added bonus. We would highly recommend this hotel.
The staff was so kind and friendly. I had a king room and was upgraded to a suite free of charge. The room was clean and very spacious and the views from the floor to ceiling windows were great. I had such a relaxing and pleasant stay, I'll definitely be coming back.
