The room was spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect for easily getting to Broadway shows, restaurants and Times Square. It was basically across the street from the Hudson Theatre, where we were seeing Waiting for Godot. So convenient.

This location is walkable to shops, food, Times Square, subway stations and broadway shows. It is literally down the block from time square. We loved the location and the staff, especially the bell service team. They were very personable and kind. The gym has a water station that has filtered water. The only issue is the shower, you can’t make it any hotter and sometimes it will run cold. The elevators are also quite small but doable. Otherwise, great hotel option when wanting to stay closer to Times Square.

Great room - renovated, clean and bright. Elevators small and dated - quite quaint. Coffee pods provided not to my taste - I advise you not to try. Other than the coffee Aura is a great choice in the Times Square area. I would stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I was in 4 rooms before I could unpack. Room 1 on 5th floor-beds were messed up, like someone had napped on them; Room 2 on 2nd floor-water in sink didn't work; Room 3 (actually same room as #1) back to 5th floor-phone was not connected and there was no phone cord. Room 4 on 14th floor. Room was fine. Had early checkin and didn't get settled in a room until almost 4. The front desk was great, but clearly the services leave something to be desired. Did not have 2nd luggage racks when they were needed. Also got no break on the cost, even though it was really inconvenient trying to check in and find a room that was actually ready to check into. Never had any experience like this with any hotel anywhere. The location is great though and Gatsby's Landing, the restaurant next door is wonderful.

The location is great, but the service is poor. They don’t even follow door signs when you ask them to. Don’t expect soundproof rooms, it’s Time Square. If you find a great deal, go for it. Otherwise, find another place..
