We were here last Thanksgiving & returned in late August because we were so pleased with our first visit. The rooms are clean & comfortable, though noisy on the Broadway side (bring ear plugs). It's easy to get anywhere in the city from here, but you can walk to great shopping & restaurants, too. 2 blocks to subway. Close to Central Park. Price was higher this time, but I think we found a great internet deal last fall. We always get a private room - the cheaper rates require you to share a bathroom with 2 other rooms. Fine for a family group. Fridge in the room is a bonus, with a 24 hr. grocery around the corner. Only thing I dislike is the lack of light in the bathroom.
