8.8/10 Excellent! (6,546 reviews)
This hotel is in a perfect location. So close to Times Square, theatres and the subway. The hotel is very bare bones, no bar, no restaurant, no refrigerator or microwave. However, it was spotless and has several eateries just doors away. The staff was amazing, very accommodating and helpful and allowed us a late check out. This was my second stay and I would stay again

We went to a prospective student tour. The first hour was a lecture and not very interactive. Check that the school you want info on is on the tour you choose. I didn’t and it wasn’t.
