You can’t ask for a better location, especially if it’s your first visit to New York and especially if you’re going to see a Broadway show. We were able to walk to most of the things we wanted to see.
The Beast and Butterflies bar/restaurant and outdoor seating area provides an unforgettable view of Times Square. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Read carefully what amenities are included and which are not. There are not things you might usually expect like an in-room coffee maker, which would have been nice but no big deal. The destination fee didn’t bother us as that was stated in the listing info so we knew that in advance. We were supposed to have a king-sized bed but ended up with two full-sized. We didn’t bother to point it out as we heard a staff member tell the person in front of us when we checked in that there were no rooms with king-sized beds left. That was fine with us as the view from our room more than made up for it.
The location merits the price. We definitely recommend it.
