Pros:

Everything was as listed including being completely clean.

Cons:

There was a nice late checkout time of noon but when I came back to get my luggage with was 1203 and my key had been completely deactivated. Luckily the nice person af the front desk helped me solve the problem, which was ultimately my fault for being late.

Good stay with some downsides
Pros:

One of the things I liked was how convenient the location was. There are different transportation options nearby, including buses and trains, which made it very easy to get around. I also appreciated that many places, such as shops, restaurants, and attractions, were within walking distance.

Cons:

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. For example, the door had some strange stains on it, which made the room feel less clean overall. I also did not like the area around the hotel, as there were many people lingering on the streets nearby and I did not feel very safe walking around.

One of the best value hotel in Great location
Pros:

Location!! Close to everything very convenient

Cons:

Bathroom, curtain shower can be cover close-to the floor, so it will not wet to toilet part and steel chair close to glass wall of bathroom is quite dangerous . More attached hangers would be great

Muy bien la atención y la ubicación
Pros:

Ubicación, personal amable, atención rapida

Cons:

el agua de la ducha se filtraba por la goma del piso en ambas habitaciones en las que estuvimos. En la habitación 1635 el control de la tv dejaba de funcionar a ratos, la manilla para abrir la ventana estaba muy suelta.

Hubo una filtración en alguna habitación que nos hizo que nos reacomodaran porque la filtración llegaba a nuestra pieza

I'm not disappointed by the Times Square POD. If I have to go back, I will.
Pros:

The staff were generally very friendly.
The hotel's location is ideal.
The rooms are clean.

Cons:

The rooms could use a fresh coat of paint.

The rooms are relatively small (but that was to be expected!).

Pros:

Posizione fantastica e ottima pulizia, e bella vista dalla camera

Cons:

Per quanto la posizione sia ottima, il prezzo e', a mio avviso, caro in proporzione alla camera davvero minuscola
