Our room was right next to the elevator, that had a bell ringing for every floor it passed, also when it didn't stop, just passed by the floor! And our room had some HUGE machines on the roof of the neighbor building which made terrible noise all around the clock, so we couldn't get much sleep even with eat plugs. But the staff was friendly and the location was close to Times Square. If we ever come back, we won't stay here again, though. The rooms were old and worn out, and the noise from the elevator and machines outside were horrendous!
