Great hotel with a perfect location. You can walk out the door, take a left, and be in Central Park within four or five minutes. You can easily get to Times Square and Fifth Avenue. Our room was large (they are bigger than the standard rooms in New York), with a king-size bed and plenty of room to relax and move around. You can also choose for a room at the concierge level. Than you'll have breakfast, newspaper, afternoon snacks, and drinks. You can also use the Internet for free during the time when breakfast and dinner is served.
We stayed in this hotel twice, both times in December (2003 and 2004). It was great. From our room, we had a view of Times Square.
