"This hotel was the perfect location. The Broadway show Hamilton was playing right across the street! Turn the corner and you are in the middle of Time Square. The subway was up a block & the Hop On Hop Off was 1 1/2 blocks away. We had an incredible time during the day & returned to a clean, quiet, comfortable room every night."
