We plan on staying here again. Highly recommend people look at the reviews-they are very accurate. Friendly staff, clean large rooms, good breakfast, great price. Easy access to subway, Times Square is roughly a 20 minute subway ride and easy to navigate. Half the price of Times Square hotels, BUT probably not the case when the Yankees are playing at home because it's one subway stop away. I love there is no carpet- the floor was very clean. Hotel carpets are very dirty, no matter how much they clean them! The neighborhood isn't 100% safe, but if you go where you need to go, don't wander around without a purpose and it will be fine. Never worried about the location, and the subway is a 5 minute walk. Looking at our calender to see when we can come back for another visit.
