As a running theme of my reviews I note that, if given my druthers, I will not stay in this type of hotel in a city filled with great hotels.
However, as conference hotels go, this is a good one. Even when the elevators were acting up, the hotel went to great lengths to work with the guests. The rooms are terrific. The fitness room is great. The bar has a great view of Times Square. and there is a Starbucks onsite.
There’s not much in the way of local flavor, but it’s a solid choice nonetheless.
