Chikie was an outstanding host!
The official part (i.e. check-in) went very smoothly. Apart from that, Chikie's hospitality was awesome, he would always make sure we felt fully comfortable. He was always down for having a nice chat or a good meal and was never short of tips on where to eat, go or what to do.
The room was very decent and is only two blocks away from the subway. You will need approximately 20 minutes to Times Square, which clearly is a huge plus, too.
All in all, we would definitely come back and highly recommend it.
