    Location was fantastic for Times Sq, Empire State, Macys and Broadway. Rooms were well designed, if a little dated, and comfy. Making own waffles was a nice gimmick and i got to try it once (but the queue was usually too long to bother) Coffee station in lobby was really lovely to see and use, it even stopped us using the coffee facilities in room as it was so nice in lobby.

    Loved the interior design and fit out. The lounge/bar area had a great moody vibe, unlike many other hotels. We loved how locals were there enjoying it too. The staff were really helpful. We heard very little noise from the street and the curtains blocked out all of the day light which was really great when adjusting to a different time zone. Other hotels in New York can be much noisier.
