Nice hotel at central location
Pros:

Very central location. Also, they partner with TMPL gym with free daily access. I got an upgrade of the room to a higher floor, an the people are all very friendly. Room size is good.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the room is quite noisy. The doors are loud and thin, so you hear other people on the hallway. The A/C is effective, but also very loud, and could therefore not run over night.

Mixed experience—Excellent room service from bell staff, but check-in issues
Pros:

I recently stayed at this hotel in Times Square, and my experience was truly a tale of two extremes.
On the positive side, I was very impressed with the room itself once I finally settled in. It was in excellent condition, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. While potential guests should be aware that the rooms do not have TVs, this was not an issue for me as I was only in town for a quick trip to see some Broadway shows [walking distance]. I also thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary wine and cheese happy hour at the hotel bar—a lovely touch. Additionally, I want to specifically commend the bellhop, Josh, who was exceptional. He was kind, proactive, and clearly anticipated the needs of every guest who walked through the door; it was refreshing to see such high-quality, equitable service.
However, the rest of my check-in experience was deeply concerning. Upon receiving my key card and heading to my room, I opened the door to find it already occupied by another guest’s personal belongings. Thankfully, the room was empty at the time, but the potential for a safety and privacy violation is massive. Had another guest been changing, sleeping, or startled by my entry, this could have resulted in a dangerous or highly distressing confrontation.
When I returned to the lobby to address this, the agent who checked me in offered a brief apology but immediately attempted to move on. His response felt dismissive and failed to acknowledge the severity of the security breach or the violation of the other guest's privacy.
It wasn't until my checkout that a different staff member.Chris was helpful in connecting me with the manager,Anthony. Thank you Chris!
Furthermore, there was no offer of accommodation or compensation for the significant inconvenience of having to wait for the crowded elevators twice more after an already exhausting arrival.
Finally, I would strongly suggest that management look into the condition of the ground-floor restroom. It is dark, smelly, and consistently unkempt, with cleaning supplies left out in the open—a stark, disappointing contrast to the standards of the rest of the property.
While the bell staff and room quality were top-tier, the failures in security and the dismissive attitude of the front desk staff left me feeling very uneasy. I hope leadership takes these concerns seriously, as this level of oversight is unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber.

Climatisation de l’immeuble d’en face juste en face de notre chambre, impossible de s’endormir et pourtant on nous a soi-disant upgrader.

Perfect location, great amenities, a hidden gem in the heart of times square!
Pros:

The customer service was top-tier! The receptionists were incredibly friendly, personable, and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, I felt valued—they acknowledged me immediately and made check-in seamless. I would absolutely stay here again. The complimentary wine and cheese happy hour was a wonderful touch and truly exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

Gut aber nicht perfekt
Pros:

Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war angenehm groß und sehr ruhig, sodass wir uns gut erholen konnten.

Cons:

Das gesamte Hotel macht insgesamt einen stark abgenutzten Eindruck. Überall sind Macken, Kratzer und andere Gebrauchsspuren zu sehen. Im Badezimmer lief die Toilette ständig. Außerdem musste man oft lange auf die Aufzüge warten.

Nice room and hotel in the Times Square area. Good place if you have a kid traveling with you.
Pros:

Great location in the Times Square area. Room had a door that closes with a pull out sofa in the living room so that makes it nice if you have a kid(s) traveling with you, so it was like a suite.

Cons:

There wasn't anything I remember that I didn't like. Maybe the mood and lighting are a little on the dark side, I prefer brighter spaces and places.

Invest in Customer Service Training
Pros:

Hotel is fine but the customer service is the worst I have encountered after 15 years of travel (business and leisure). Telling me my status doesn't allow me to access the room I paid for (non-refundable, mind you) two months in advance until almost 7pm due to someone occupying the room with higher status is complete garbage. Also, providing not ONE solution to fixing the problem and then bending over backwards for other guests who came in - i imagine at a higher status - was a disgusting display of classism.

Convenient Times Square Stay
Pros:

This hotel was fine for a short stay in Times Square, primarily because of its convenient location. We booked a suite, but it felt smaller than expected, and the bathroom was especially tiny.
The room was clean, which is always important, but the furnishings have definitely seen better days and could use a refresh. One particularly odd feature was the TV/mirror combination, which felt more gimmicky than functional.
Resturant was delicious, and the doormen were super helpful.
