it's a cheap decent hotel. the luggage robot does not work and they don't store luggage. I had amazing views but the open bathroom was right next to the windows which is really weird. other than that my biggest gripe was that the toilet seat has stains on it.
there is a food market right next to it and some good restaurants in the area. but it's not close to the times square subway station. so if you plan to use the subway alot prepare to do a lot of walking to get there.
