the location is perfect, especially for a first trip to New York. We were given a free upgrade to a corner room with the most incredible view or times Square. As we hadn't been to New York and the description didn't play on it as much as I would have, I cannot say how surprised we were with how perfect the location was to explore Manhattan! There is so much in walking distance and everything else passes through the subway stations within a 5 minute walk, it was honestly perfect. (I realise I have said perfect a fair few times but it honestly deserves the review)
