Tiny room but great location
8.0The location of the hotel is super convenient: I had appointments all over the city and multiple subway lines can be accessed from the hotel. I also liked having options for picking up grocery items and lots of food options within reach. Staff were very friendly and they even booked me a cab which ended up costing less…
September is an expensive time to be in the city so there were not many options for rooms so the Mayfair ended up being less expensive than some. However, considering I paid over 350 a night, my room was so tiny--no closet, no coffee maker, and no nightstand to place a water bottle or other things. Also only one light…

Nice boutique hotel in walking distance to several attractions
8.0Liked the location - walkability to Rockefeller Center, Times Square and Penn Station. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was clean.

It was in the heart of Broadway, next door to Eugene O’Neill Theatre, so very good when we needed to see Book Of Mormon! Walking distance to Times Square, and also subway services as…
The room was a little small, but I did know going into it. It didn’t really bother us though!!

Great location and friendly staff
7.0Great location, just off Times Square but was so quiet (i had a street facing room) that it wasn't an issue. Staff were really helpful and i was able to leave my bags on check in day (i arrived early) and also on checkout day.
The bathroom needed a shelf to put toiletries on there wasn't a lot of space to put all my bottles on.
