Great first time in N.Y. You cannot pick a better location. Right in the heart of the Theater District. 2 blocks from Times Square, 2 blocks from restaurant row, and 2 blocks from Hell's Kitchen area. Very sparse accommodations. No T.V., no dresser, and no closet in the room. Just the full size bed, 2 end tables, a daybed along a wall, and a metal coat hanger to hang your clothes. It did however serve its purpose (a place to crash at night), and the bed (full sized) was very comfortable. We never met Claude until the last day of our trip. He frequently works very late (till 3am), and sleeps in during the day. Claude was a very nice host, left candy by the bed, and told us to help ourselves to the water, pop, and beer in the fridge.
