This HIE combines an ideal location (Macy's/shopping district, Koreatown for great bbq/hot pot, Empire State Building, subways to take you in all directions) with great staff from check-in all the way to holding luggage before our trip to the airport so we could enjoy a great nearby lunch.
Importantly, for what was a peak holiday week, between Christmas and New Year's, for midtown Manhattan this was easily the best value for the price, which in our search was the most economical option for the neighborhood.
The room was everything we needed, great Dove brand toiletries for sink and shower, extra blankets delivered quickly, all in all a top tier experience.
