飯店大廳 hotel lobby

首先，雖然飯店名稱上有時報廣場，但是其實飯店位置離時報廣場一點也不近！走路大約還需要十分鐘左右才能到達。不過我非常喜歡這間飯店，不只辦理入住時飯店的人員非常親切，也有提供簡單的礦泉水跟點心作為迎賓禮。另外在大廳還有提供免費的熱巧克力讓所有房客免費喝，真的非常大方。飯店唯一的缺點大概是電梯數不夠，在尖峰時段都需要等很久才搭得到電梯。

First of all, it's important to point out that even though this hotel had "Times Square" in its name, it's no where near Times Square! I had to walk for about 10 more minutes from Times Square to get to the property. But I actually liked the hotel a lot, not only was the staff very friendly at check-in, they offered a welcome gift bag consisting of bottled water and snacks. Hot chocolate was also offered in the lobby and was free for all guests. The only criticism I had with the hotel was its insufficient number of elevators. It took a long time to wait for them during rush hours.

至於房間，其實有點狹小，不過在空間上還是很足夠一個人使用。在舒適度上我覺得也比 57 街的假日飯店來得好一點。

While the room was on the small side, there was still enough room for one person. I actually had a more comfortable time here compared to my stay at the 57th Street Holiday Inn.

隔天早上飯店有提供免費早餐，不過餐廳空間很小，非常容易就沒有位子（也因為人很多，就沒有拍照了）；另外餐點選擇上也不多，口味更是很普通，所以並沒有非常推薦。不介意多花點錢的話，外面其實有更多更好的選擇。

All guests receive complimentary breakfast in the morning, but the restaurant was way too small to accommodate the guests, so it got crowded easily (this was why I did not take any pictures). As for the food, the choice was rather limited and none of them were particularly tasty, so I would not highly recommend the breakfast service. There are so many better options out there if you don't mind spending a bit more.
