2. After reading other reviews on this site I was very dubious about staying at the hotel, on arrival the reception staff were very friendly as was the bellman who took our cases to our room, The room was clean and spacious and although the decor is dated this goes with the keeping of the period of the hotel, For me the location of the hotel was great close to times square, empire state building and 5th avenue, if you want to venture futher grand central station is 2 blocks away, I would stay at this hotel again and dont know why this hotel has had such bad reviews but then you cant please everyone.
