The hotel is super centrally located, just around the corner of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan. The rooms were a great size for all four of us, making it a comfortable stay. The staff was helpful, although not as friendly as expected. The location is fantastic and efficient for touring the city, but the surroundings could be better looked after. The dining experience was globally inspired but somewhat disappointing in terms of portion size for the price. The facilities were modern and efficient, offering a slick and modern look right from the entrance.

The hotel is incredibly central and modern, making it easy to explore top attractions like Central Park, Times Square, and more. The room I stayed in was spacious, with two double beds perfect for accommodating a group of four. The only downside was the slightly disappointing dining experience in terms of portion size for the price.

The hotel is perfectly located just around the corner of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan. It was able to accommodate four of us comfortably in the Deluxe King room. However, the room size was small, and having the sink outside in the bedroom area was not very convenient.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location couldn't have been better, just around the corner from Times Square in the heart of Manhattan. The rooms were surprisingly able to accommodate 4 people comfortably, even though they were small. The staff, especially at the reception and rooftop bar, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. However, the service at the 2nd floor bar was a bit lacking in warmth. The dining experience left something to be desired with small portions for the price, but there were some crisp options.

The hotel's location is superb, with easy access to subways for city touring. The rooms, particularly the Deluxe King, were modern and clean but lacked a proper bathroom setup with the sink outside the designated area. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, albeit a bit lacking in information during check-in. The dining options were a bit pricey with small portions, especially for Uonuma-grown rice. The facilities are well-maintained and offer a decent experience overall.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, it is conveniently located just around the corner of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan. However, the room was too small for 2 adults and a teenager for 8 days, lacking storage options. The service was friendly but could have been more informative at check-in. The location is fantastic for exploring Central Park and other main points, but the dining options were disappointing in terms of portion size and cost.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, right in the center with easy access to everything NYC has to offer. The rooms were spacious enough for our family of four, and though they lacked storage items, they were clean and comfortable. The service was top-notch with friendly staff, but some were a bit moody and untrained. The dining options were pricey with small portions, but the facilities were great with a modern atmosphere.
