Fantastic location for midtown and times square. Safe area a block away from the crazy busyness of times square. Easy to find. Clean, neat and cozy. Room is a good size for the price for a couple of days. The only issue was nighttime noise. There was live music playing that we could hear until about midnight. You can also hear, in the second floor, the subway running under 8th avenue. The hotel (this is a hotel, not a private apartment) is aware of the noise and even gives guests earplugs, which you should use. (I should say lived in NYC for 5 years, so I am aware of the noises of new York. This place just has more noise). That said, the room is a great value, and if you aren't a light sleeper, and don't mind wearing ear plugs, this is a good place to stay.
