The location is great if you’re really into Midtown. It’s within walking distance to a lot of great places- Times Square, 30 Rock, Grand Central, NYPL, Empire State Building, Central Park, etc. It is very busy and very loud at all hours of the day/night. Upon arrival, the staff was great which was consistent throughout our stay. Everything was clean, but there was a heavy bleach smell most of the time in the halls and in the room. My two biggest complaints- no hot water in the shower at all and the mattresses were very hard, which may be fine for some, but made for a very long four nights for me. There are no frills, but the staff was great and the location convenient, if you can stand the noise.
