Beautiful location. About a 20-25 minute car ride from Time Square. SoHo is about a 10-15 minute car ride. My partner and I fully enjoyed the long walks by the Brooklyn bridge all the way down beside the water. The city is a beautiful place to walk around in so we would spend hours a day walking to cute patio restaurants and coffee shops/sight seeing. China town is walks away. This is definitely a staple area if you’re trying to venture around the business areas away from busy time square (with loads of restaurants and shops still - also the water is RIGHT there!) Brooklyn is just a walk over the bridge away. Check in and check out was smooth. Valet is worth it - $60/night and you will get charged a service fee at the end of your stay just heads up but nothing came of surprise. Sink is not directly in the toilet/shower part of the hotel room but it wasn’t a problem. Sliding door for washroom with no lock. The hotel room was rather spacious for NYC. 9.5/10. Thanks!
