Very good location, right ...

Very good location, right on Times Square one minute walk from the Broadway box office, so you can show up there at 11 AM and buy cheap tickets on sale early in the morning for the evening. The rooms are OK, the location is the best thing in this hotel. The staff was nice. The free breakfast they advertised when you book the room is actually if you take a breakfast in a box with you. If you sit down to eat, it will cost you five dollars, very narrow menu option. The dining room is functioning as a full on restaurant that serves people breakfast lunch and dinner for a restaurant price. But even though prices of the menu is not cheap for the guests, the food looks great.

I recently stayed here ...

I recently stayed here for a week on a work trip. This hotel is all about its location and historical significance. Other than that, it's just an "eh, ok" hotel. It is right off Times Square and the subway is a block away. As a woman traveling by myself I did feel safe as they require room keys to access the elevators. The food at Friedman's was decent. The herb fries were amazing! The "free" breakfast isn't really free. You pay a per day service fee for the hotel which includes "free breakfast". The breakfast food was sub-par. The rooms were clean but obviously very old and outdated. I mean, it opened in the 30s so things like plumbing are not great. It took a good 20 minutes for the shower to heat up to a reasonable temperature. The first 2 days I took cold showers because I didn't plan for it taking so long. There are no mini fridges in the room and I had no coffee maker in my room though I understand some rooms do have them. The best part of the room was that there was no street noise! It was quite which I appreciated. Overall the hotel is a decent one if you want to be IN Times Square or close to the Theater District.

Upon arrival they did ...

Upon arrival they did not refuse to accept cash, check that you have vouchers, they turn off access to the room if you did not have it before 12.00, although we checked in at 00.15 at night.
