Had a death in my family and wasn’t able to make the trip, spoke with someone at the hotel in hopes of getting a refund, due to booking through Expedia evidently it would be up to Expedia to issue a refund, 5 minutes later I was able to get in touch with Expedia about the issue and they stated the hotel is refusing to issue a refund. Lost out on $600 and had to come up with more money to travel to where the funeral was. I will never be booking through Expedia again.

I didn't realize how small everything about this hotel is, the lobby, hallways, elevator and the room. But...this was in Times Square and the convenience factor of being close to times square and broadway was what really brought us here! The room was cozy, clean and comfortable. I would reccomed this place if you are coming to NyC to see a show on or around broadway and/or Times Square! There is a parking garage nextdoor, not affiliated with the hotel. Just dont expect to [initially] get into a parking garage if you arrive and check-in after midnight, like I [foolishly] did, lol.
