Hotel 41 at Times Square

Tucked away justy off of 7th Avenue, a person might walk by without noticing it. The front desk and all staff could not have ben nicer. There was a Continental breakfast available in the "Bar 41" just off the lobby. A bar that is very popular for its happy hour. It was packed every evening. The room, we were warned, was small. But I've seen smaller. It was just big enough and the bathroom was updated and clean. We were near the back of the building and it was very quiet (except for the neighbors on one evenning). You wouldn't know you were only a few dozen feet from Times Square. The down sides: The mattress was stiff and sagged at the center severely. The water pressure was OK. The shower had been redone as one of those walk-in, glass wall things which was good looking. But the shower head was placed at least 9 feet overhead which makes for an "all-or-nothing" shower experience, if you know what I mean. Direct TV was listed as an amentity but ours had only a few stations, mostly local.( A funny note: the first thing on the list of "Room Amenities" was "Rooms". I had to chuckle.) Overall, I would stay again. Good value for money, a very nice staff, and nice room, and terrific location in middle of Manhattan with the the subway and Port Authority transit station only steps away.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel 41 very much. The hotel is very clean, service excellent, and location superb. The rooms are small, but certainly adequate. The location is the best. You could easily walk to most of Manhatten from this location or the Metro is just across the street.
