The hotel's location is AMAZING! Very close by to alot in Manhattan, a walk to most and very close to subway station as well. The reception were really nice, very accommodating to help. The room was okay, we didn't stay in for most of the day so it was fine.

It's centrally located in Manhattan, so it's easy to get anywhere, and it's right next to Koreatown, so it's easy to get to Korean restaurants. The staff were friendly, and they offered free coffee coupons and apples at the reception. The bed was very high, the bathroom smelled a bit like un-dried laundry, and the air conditioning was very old and dusty. Still, it was a great value for the money compared to other hotels in Derby, and the rooms were larger than at other expensive hotels, which was nice.

Ctrip is a rip-off. Different people have different prices. On the same day, I booked 800 yuan more than my colleague.

It's a compact small hotel. The room is OK and relatively clean. Generally, Chinese people travel a lot. The Empire State Building and Times Square are relatively close to each other. The location is good.
