Very close to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, making transportation incredibly convenient. The hotel is located near Times Square, putting us in the heart of all the action. Being right by a subway station allowed us to easily explore the city. There was an abundance of restaurants along the route to the theaters, providing us with endless dining options.

Nothing to mention.

We had an amazing stay! The cleanliness was top-notch, and the hotel facilities were great. The location couldn't have been better - close to several subway stations for easy access to Times Square, Hells Kitchen, Broadway, and all other central places to visit. Plus, being next to Times Square and Broadway theaters was a dream come true. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable.

No negatives from this place. We had a fantastic experience with no complaints whatsoever.
