Times Square is nearby and next door is a huge bus terminal. There was no noise at all and the room was very comfortable and restful. I think it would be wonderful at this location, with bath and toilet inside the room, and at this price! Also the front desk staff was very helpful. Personally, I would like a refrigerator and tissues in my room, so next time I'll look for a hotel that is equipped with those, but for someone who runs around NYC all day and uses it just to sleep, it's perfect! I personally think that the side street of the hotel, 9Ave from 40-42st seems a bit unsafe area , so I would recommend coming from 8Ave to 42st and going to 9Ave if at all possible!
