The location of the hotel is excellent—just steps away from Bryant Park, Times Square, and other major attractions. The hotel is clean and staff are friendly and attentive. The hotel includes some appealing perks like a daily cocktail hour and breakfast, along with a nightly bar credit. However, it’s important to note that these amenities are built into the steep room rate and extra charges that are incurred when you check in, so you're essentially paying for them in advance (even if you don't utilized them). Unfortunately, the value doesn't quite match the cost, particularly given the limited seating during breakfast and happy hour, and the long elevator waits, which can exceed 10 minutes during peak times. Guests on lower floors may not feel the impact as much, but if you're staying on a higher floor—like the 32nd—be prepared for significant delays, especially when checking out with luggage. We won't book this hotel again due to feeling so cramped everywhere. If you're looking for a hotel to spread out in and relax in common areas, this isn't it.
