The location was perfect, about 10min walk from Times Square and subway, but you can see a busstop from your window so that's also an option. Checkin/out was very easy, the room was as described, the neighborhood felt safe in the late evening, shops in walking distances if you need them, just a great place to stay when in New York. I saw Pat once during the 1,5 week I was there, both busy during the day, and he was friendly as expected.
