The property location is great as it's just minutes from Time Square and nearby to a lot of activities, train station, eateries, etc. However, this hotel has two sides one Residence Inn and the other Courtyard Marriott. I am accustomed to staying at Residence Inn but figured I would try the other side which turned out okay. We had to change to another room because the first one they gave us smelled like dog piss. It was obvious that the hotel was dog friendly........ which is okay, but can you sanitize disinfect and keep the room clean and aroma fresh. But as always, the check in process always smooth and the staff is customer friendly and courteous.
