The hotel

In the heart of the Theatre District, look one way and you've got the bright lights of Times Square, and the other and the Top of the Rock is towering above you. Whatever you want to see in Manhattan, you're sure not to be far away. Start the day with buffet breakfast at the Park Avenue, to get your set up for the day! And the bar is on hand in the lobby for a snack and a drink, should you need to re-fuel later on. Family Rooms are available for that bit extra space and an additional sofa bed, so you can enjoy a trip to the Big Apple, no matter how big or small your brood is.

Fabulous stay here . Staff are lovely and accommodating. Rooms extremely clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend here for anyone. Great location for subway and Times Square. Breakfast was good but busy , the queues aren’t that bad really.

The hotel was in a great location, the rooms were comfortable and the restaurant was food. We had bed and breakfast and would definitely return if we visited NYC again. The staff were all friendly and helpful and it was good that it had a little cafe where you could buy coffee in the main hotel.

What a great hotel! Clean room with a great view. What was even better was the location. It is right in the middle of everything . There is also a small fridge in the room which is a nice plus. They also offer bag check if you arrive early and do not want to haul your luggage around . I cannot wait to stay here again.

Our stay at this hotel was ok. The rooms are clean, today, well maintained and have most things you would need except a kettle/tea-coffee. The breakfast is not good, firstly you need to go to the ground floor then queue to turn go up to the 5th floor to be seated. The food is not great either, the scrambled eggs were disgusting, I’m not what… Read more
Our stay at this hotel was ok. The rooms are clean, today, well maintained and have most things you would need except a kettle/tea-coffee. The breakfast is not good, firstly you need to go to the ground floor then queue to turn go up to the 5th floor to be seated. The food is not great either, the scrambled eggs were disgusting, I’m not what the beans were, fruit was going off one of the days, the yogurt is cheap and processed. If you like a quality breakfast I would suggest going bed instead of B&B. Allergies they have gluten free bread and can advise you on the food put out if required. The gym is good, there is a bar and snack area which is clean, plenty of seats. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful BUT the front reception staff were miserable and moody. Honestly every time we spoke to them or even walked past they simply looked like they had an anger problem. Overall is ok Read less

The hotel is in a great location, right in the thick of Times Square. The staff were helpful and generally friendly. They answered all the questions we posed. The rooms were bright, modern, clean and had everything you needed. Complimentary water on arrival, nothing after that. No tea and coffee making facilities in the actual room. The rooms were cleaned every day. Be prepared to wait for the lifts.... I don't know whether this was down to the hotel being busy, however, that was a frustration. I would recommend and stay again as the location was excellent and the rooms more than sufficient. If you want all singing and dancing this isn't the hotel for you. Read less
