Large reception/entrance area with access to various seating options (couches, tables/chairs, and bar). Check-in is via computers at the front, however, staff are always there to help if needed. They are so friendly and helpful - they are happy to answer any questions. X1 bar and a small shop are in the same area - they offer various drinks and food (excellent). Another bar (rooftop) which is gorgeous and again has access to various seating options. The room itself is as pictured online and very clean. There is access to an iPad which controls lighting and the blinds (you can also do this via normal switches). The iPad also has the hotels menu and various city guides (i.e. attractions, dining suggestions, etc). The bed is very comfortable and cosy. The shower is excellent, however, can become very slippy when bending to wash feet (there are no railings to hold onto). The toilet is in the same cubicle and although there is a shower curtain, the whole cubicle becomes wet - this can become annoying when using the toilet and feet becoming wet. The location is excellent - a 2 min walk to timesquare (i.e. red steps). There are various restaurants and shops close too.
