We stayed during Thanksgiving week. The hotel was average. The service was average. However, I marked down for cleanliness because the lobby, hall ways, and front entrance always smell like cigarette smoke which was overwhelming and unsanitary. I could barely breath. My other complaint are the pillows and mattress. My neck and back were killing me every day when I woke up. Otherwise it was average. The location was good for what we wanted. It was very close to the empire state bldg, Macy's, rockfeller center, madison square garden, summit one, times square, hersheys, etc. We were not close enough to walk to the stautue of liberty or central park (40 min walk). Whereas everything else was a 7-15 minute walk. We ubered to chelsea market and china town.
