Stay away from this rodent infested hotel. It looks nice, but there are mice EVERYWHERE!!! We did not have food in our room, but we saw a mouse in the bedroom one night, and then saw one in the living room the next day. Ridiculous considering the price and that this is a recently renovated building. Hotel claims to be non-smoking, but we could smell cigarette smoke in the hall way. Staff does not enforce the non-smoking policy. The building is also really loud. Not well insulated from street noise. The AC/heating units are really loud and seem very old fashioned for the new renovations.

I stayed at the AKA Times Square 9/10-9/14. Not only are the rooms beautiful and modern, but the amenities are amazing; full kitchen with top of the line appliances, separate office, washer/dryer, wi-fi, flat screen TV, free breakfast, and coffee all day. There isn't a restaurant or bar in the hotel, but you really don't need it since there is a ton of each up and down 44th Street. The staff is great also! It seems like it’s also the place to stay for corporate or long term housing because I saw a famous actress and learned of a top corporate executive that had been living there for over 3 months! The one thing I was sure they would have was an MP3 player or dock station, but instead they had those Dream Machines with a CD player. My boss stayed in the 1 bedroom, which was vey nice.

Stayed 2 weeks before xmas for a friends birthday. 50 meters from times sq. on 44th street - best location you can imagine. Had a 2 BR suite that was better than ANY hotel I have been in anywhere in the world. Lauren at the front desk was awesome - handled tickets for shows and everything. Can't say enough good about the beds/linens or having a washer/dryer in the room - it's nice to come home with a suitcase of CLEAN laundry. Biz center was nice, had macs, gym adequae. The only downside is the wooden walkway over the construction out front, but our room was silent and perfectly clean. Didn't see any mice either, but I'm sure there are a couple in NYC. Do what you can to get a 2 BR for a couple it is beautiful.

We stayed at this hotel as a two day stop-over between the Caribbean and returning to the UK. The accommodation was selected as it all the facilities that you have at home and is more spacious than the majority of New York hotel rooms. There is also a small fitness area with several machines and free internet access (either on your own laptop in your room or use of two Macs in the business centre) The staff were welcoming and very helpful - we arrived very early and our room was not ready but our bags were stored and we were provided with coffee, cake and toilet facilities. The hotel is located on a quieter side street immediately off Times Square so despite the fact there is no bar/restaurant in the hotel, this is irrelevant as you are surrounded by bars, deli's, restaurants and every other commercial premises you can think of. We did not find the hotel noisy even though it is in this location. The advertising seems geared towards the business traveller however I would recommend this property for a weekend break as it is similarly priced to a lot of the popular hotels, has space and is in a great location.

We found this hotel by accident and we were delighted. The appartment was huge, beautiful furniture, 2 flat screen tvs, washer and dryer, great kitchen. The location was perfect, near Times Square but very quiet. The service was excellent. Perfect 10.
