Location was right next to Times Square which was perfect. Only things I didn’t like was the elevators sometimes took up to 20 minutes before one would come. The AC unit in our room was constantly making noise, almost as if a giant rat was crawling around. Room wasn’t the cleanest when we arrived. Overall the staff was very kind.
