The Henry Norman hotel was lovely! The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they were quick to reply to any of my questions when booking. We arrived a day early and they were very accommodating. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the rooms are very clean. The location was very convenient; it was approx. 10 min walk to the G train. Also, they have a complimentary shuttle that can drive to anywhere within a mile, which was perfect for getting to the 7 train (only a few stops from Times Square)! There's also a good selection of food places around, a few of which deliver late at night.

As a side note, we had a room at the front of the building on the second floor and we did hear a few buses early in the morning (there's a bus parking lot right across the street). It wasn't too loud and it didn't happen too often, and it wasn't a problem for us but if you're a very light sleeper it might be better to get a room facing the back of the hotel.

I would definitely stay here again! It was an excellent hotel with a wonderful staff!
