8/10 Good
"Room was clean, it was small, the cleaning staff forgot to leave washcloths twice but overall I was pleased. The AC was quite noisy, but they provide earplugs. 😂 Great location convenient to Time Square, Chipotle, and other conveniences. They also provided daily water and snacks for Hilton Honors members."

8/10 Good
"Front desk staff was kind enough to check me in early (11am) with a room on the 3rd floor. Rooms were very clean and relatively well appointed. I booked a room with a toilet/shower and everything was very clean. Plenty of clean towels and soap/shampoo. Felt floor was a bit gritty and could’ve done with a good sweep but it didn’t affect stay. AC was loud and kept the room sufficiently cool but not cold (>32C/90F outside). Walls a bit thin and closing doors and people talking outside was audible from room. However guests were pretty good and quiet at the right times. Only concern I had was that windows could not be locked. However, room comes with a small wall safe."
