Perfect, highly recommend.
Pros:

Location was perfect, close to Times square, Subways and Bryant Park which was a great bonus. Coffee was great from Jake’s. Simple extras like lemon and cucumber water in foyer. Quite rooms. Doormen so polite and friendly.

Cons:

No view from our room unfortunately and scaffolding all around building at time of our visit.

Pros:

La posizione, all'interno di Times Square, e il roof garden, immerso tra i grattacieli.

Cons:

Non vale un hotel 5 stelle. La stanza superior era lunga e stretta e dava un senso di claustrofobia. Anche il bagno era molto piccolo. La reception era nascosta e più adatta a un tre stelle. Nella colazione mancavano del tutto le torte e molte altre cose che mi sarei aspettato in un 5 stelle, a partire dalla spremuta d'arancia fresca. La scelta era molto ristretta. In più non c'erano portieri all'ingresso pronti ad aprire le pesanti porte o ad aiutare i clienti con i bagagli.
