Pros:
Excellent central Times Square location
Helpful, friendly front desk and housekeeping staff
Attractive lobby decor and atmosphere
On-site bar and restaurants; evening events and wine tastings
Comfortable beds noted by some guests
Cons:
Very noisy from street (car horns, delivery trucks, thin soundproofing)
Rooms often small, some dated bathrooms and poor privacy (connected rooms)

Breakfast frequently described as mediocre, late or not very clean
Value for money concerns (price vs. room quality; reported bait-and-switch)
Occasional service issues (manager interactions, bagage fee) and one pest report

Categories

Cleanliness
7.6
Mixed comments: rooms reported as cleaned daily but isolated issues (one guest found a cockroach; one report of not very clean breakfast area). Overall generally acceptable but with some notable lapses.
Service
8.8
Generally praised as helpful and friendly (front desk and housekeeping), with multiple positive mentions; some negative incidents (manager refused late check-out, staff perceived as tip-focused or less understanding) but overall service is a relative strength.
Location
9.6
Consistently highlighted as excellent — right off Times Square, very convenient for sightseeing and nightlife; a major positive in nearly every review.
Room Quality
7.2
Several complaints about small, somewhat dated rooms and bathrooms, thin walls/connected rooms reducing privacy; occasional mentions of larger-than-expected rooms. Many rooms lack an in-room fridge.
Amenities
7.8
On-site bar, restaurants, music, evening events and wine tastings are positives; downsides include no in-room fridge for many rooms, a minimal gym, noisy AC in some rooms and a $1 per-bag porter fee noted.
Value for Money
7
Multiple comments that price did not match quality (explicit 'décevant' for price paid and a bait-and-switch on bed size). Value is viewed as below expectations by several guests.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Breakfast received mixed reviews: some found it delicious while others called it poor, late to open, or not very clean; on-site bars/restaurants are a plus.
Overall Experience
7.2
Overall comfortable stay driven largely by location and friendly staff, but affected by street noise, small/dated rooms, some cleanliness/value issues and inconsistent F&B.

Pros:

Great location, loved the art deco design.

Cons:

Our room was 15th floor but the noise from the street below was very loud. Checked on the first night that the window wasn’t open, it was that loud. Car horns going all night and delivery lorries start very early, 6am.

Pros:

L'emplacement

Cons:

Le bruit, c'est extrêmement bruyant côté rue .l'attitude du manager quand il m'a refusé le late check out en tant qu'agent de voyages. Et 1$ par valise le service bagagerie le dernier jour. Et nous avons trouvé 1 cafard dans la chambre. Il manque un petit frigidaire dans les chambres

Pros:

The location was perfect and the on-site bar and restaurants were a big plus.

Cons:

As to be expected in the city, the rooms are very small, and not very private. We looked directly into 3 other windows.

I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay near all the best things in midtown.
Pros:

The location is wonderful and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. There were plenty of plugs for all of our devices and the room was very clean.

Cons:

The bathroom is on the small side but still functional for all our needs.
