The Scene
It's easy to miss this Midtown hotel when walking by. From the sidewalk, you have to take the cargo-sized glass elevator up to the second floor. The lobby is chicly designed with a splash of 1970s kitsch. The bar around the corner (but still in the lobby) has mini televisions built into the wall. You'll also find TVs in the corridors.
The Details
The 103 rooms are separated into three distinctive hues: red, blue and yellow. Take your pick when checking in. Headboards, bed spreads, curtains and even jelly beans are all color-coordinated. Accommodations are well-equipped with high-speed Internet connection, minibars, fax machines, ergonomic work stations and cozy bathrobes. If you get hungry, check out the Oceo restaurant on the ground floor.

Forget about the fact that the rooms are tiny (even for Times Square), have no dressers, no counter in the bathroom and you don't even have room to turn around in the shower... I'VE NEVER STAYED AT A PLACE WITH MORE PATHETIC SERVICE., and lack of caring about their customers. I felt like I was on Candid Camera. In one room, I had two lights, a TV, a minibar and a most importantly, a thermostat that didn't work. Didn't really care about the lights and the minibar...and it took all day, but they finally fixed the TV. Despite repeated promises, though...could never fix the thermostat and get it below 78-degrees in my room. Even speaking to "the boss" was a complete waste of time. I spoke to the General Manager (Christopher Mallon) who told me that he would make sure the room is fixed immedaitely, told me I would get one of my nights complimentary, told me I would be invited back, etc. He never made good on any of his promises to rectify the situation...and since I left, has never returned a phone call of an e-mail. Needless to say, in 3-days, the room was never fixed, I couldn't switch into another room...and certainly never got the credit that I was promised. Even room service was horrible. It took three calls and 45-minutes to get a bucket of ice, and ordered dinner one night that was cold by the time it got to my room. It was really like a bad joke. There are some great hotels in Times Square. This place isn't one of them...and obviously they don't care about taking care of their customers, either. Simply put...I feel like I was blatantly screwed...then lied to by the General Manager. I hope this review will prevent somebody else from having the same experience I did.

A very comfortable hotel. The linens are really soft. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Even the bathroom is to die for. Be careful staying here. You may never want to leave. The hotel is small. Under 200 rooms. So its very cozy for a New York hotel. If you can afford a room then I suggest staying here.

Nice hotel... Right off Times Square. Flat screen TVs and comfortable beds. The staff was very nice and welcoming. No idea how many starts but being right off Times Square is the best selling point.
