This was our first time to New York for a family of four. The 2 room suite was very nice and spacious... great for privacy from the kids in the evening. I cannot say enough about the location... right in the middle of Time Square. Its 2 blocks from Rockefeller Center, 2 blocks from a Duane Reade (drug store), 2 blocks from Toys "R" Us, 5 blocks from the Theatre district, and 13 blocks from Madison Square Gardens. We took in a Rangers game and did not mind the walk... allowed us to truly enjoy the city. We also went to Mary Poppins... which the kids enjoyed once it started.
For the most part, the hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. The only disappointment was with the concierge. I was looking for some last minute tickets for the NY Rangers / NJ Devils game Mar 27th and she could not help with tickets. I had been tracking the price of tickets on Madison Square Gardens (MSG) Exchange and watching the price drop as the event got closer. I ended up buying the tickets on-line in the lobby of the hotel 3 hours before the game and picked them up from will-call. Great game 3 - 2 Rangers.
The room rates are a lot more than we normally spend but I have no regrets... it was well worth the cost!
