Justin and I took a quick trip to NYC recently for what is now our 2nd annual “beginning of the year trip to recap the year prior and make plans for the new year” trip.

The location was perfect because it was close to Times Square without being in the thick of all the people/madness. Plus there was a subway stop just steps outside the hotel doors, which made it very easy to hop on and off.

The rooms were newly renovated, with views of the Empire State Building, and the bathroom had a sink with actual space on them for your toiletries, and the showers were equally spacious and nice.
Next time I’m visiting, I will absolutely look at this hotel for availability and would highly recommend it if you are visiting anytime soon!
