"Basic, clean, renovated room and cool staff. Convenient Metro 7 subway line to/from Grand Central Station is a 2 minute walk. Well located in the heart of the trendy Hudson development and right by Madison Square Garden. 34th Street/Times Square is also very close but far enough from the seedier side of that experience. Chelsea is a quick walkable distance south. Didn’t try their restaurant but they have one and do breakfast, free if you sign up for their travelers club."
