Let me start off by saying that Jake was responsive at answering all of my questions. He allowed us to check in early at the last minute. The self-check in was smooth and easy. The location is just a little over a half mile from Times Square and so much more. Any major things you can’t walk to you can take the subway station to. It’s only about a half mile walk also. The main reason I am giving this place 3 stars is the cleanliness. Another big issue was the potent smell of weed on and off during our stay. The walls are pretty thin based on what I could hear, so I’m not sure if that would also effect smells traveling. There are a lot of pros and cons. It may work well for some but not others.
