I have been there with my friends and we were very surprised by the location of the hotel which was great. However, the hotel is not recommanded for those with luxury taste because it has a very old look and has a odd smell everywhere you go. I have to say that I have stayed there two times because the price can't be beat for the location but I must say that the only reason I go there is to get a mattress to sleep, that is it. The room are very ugly and there is carpet everywhere you look at. At least, there is hot water to get a good shower. But as I said, for the price and the location, this hotel can't be beat but you have to be open-minded. It is about 200 meters from Times Square and there are a lot of restaurants very close to it.
