Not worth the price
It was an overpriced hotel. Granted it's in the middle of times square but really not worth what they're charging you. Best thing that came out of this hotel was room service

Nice hotel, poor value
Hotel was nice but not for the money you pay. Phones and Wi-Fi were out the entire stay which again no big deal but for the money it's kind of a slap in the face when you want in-room dining or something. Also paid extra for a city view which wasn't a great view but it was what was advertised so I can't complain about that, although would've been nice if there was no scaffolding obstructing part of my view. Nevertheless nice hotel with a lot of history in the heart of times square, definitely not worth the money in my opinion but you pay for convenience. I will say the room service was a 10/10 they were quick and left the room very clean every time, they were like cleaning ninjas.
