"Booked a 2 night stay for my boyfriend and myself to surprise him for his birthday. So close to Times Square and Central Park if that's what you want. We took the train in from NJ and just had our backpacks, so it was a short walk from Penn Station. We were on the 17th floor, so did not have any street noise. The room was spotless and was larger than expected. We had to wait 15 minutes past check-in time of 3pm, as our room wasn't quite ready, but that wasn't a big deal. We ate breakfast at both of the restaurants on-site and used the $6.50pp vouchers. The food was delicious, especially at Bond 45, but you do need to chose from their pre-fixed menu. The cost of the room was well worth it booking through Expedia, but then of course, the taxes, fees and surcharges are added on top of that, but for a hotel in mid town Manhattan, still a great price. We did get a free bottle of red wine, a bag of chips and chocolate bar. The hotel was built in 1931 and they still keep the decor and Frank Sinatra music playing, so for families with young children, this may not be the right fit for you. A great value for the money and will definitely stay here again!"
