This is a jewel in the heart of Times Square. We stayed 4 nights to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary and were very pleased with our stay. The hotel is kept in immaculate condition and the staff are courteous and helpful. The free breakfast (which consists of fresh squeezed orange juice, milk, cereals, bagels, croissants, fresh fruit assortment, coffee, tea) and evening wine and cheese (about 5 different cheeses and 3-4 wines with red grapes - all nicely presented in Rick's cafe on the second floor of the hotel) are big pluses to this Manhattan hotel. The best thing about the place is its proximity to the Theater district and Central Park. It's literally about 50 yards from the center of Times Square! You go out all day in the city and then come back to this little quiet resort - it's a perfect place to rest after a bustling day. They even have about 50 movies in their library they will let you use free of charge in your room.
