It’s funny as when you arrived there I thought the entrance looked a bit shady lol but then once in hote it was lovely , nice room and the view wow how is your luck , as you can tell I binge watched yesterday as really enjoyed them . Thankyou both
Haha Yes, before we booked the hotel, we did some research online, and yes your right it did on 1st appearance look abit run down. But inside it was lovely. Slap bang in the middle of everything and a delicious breakfast too. Yes we can you see your binge watching our vlogs. We of course really appreciate you taking the time in watching them. Thank you very much xx
@@HolidayWithTheHeathers I may slow down a little now as on 7 days a week although Saturday and Sunday are half days , I’ll continue again shortly , so please take a breather lol
Thanks for the review guys! Staying there this coming august and I've seen some rough reviews. This video makes me feel more comfortable now. I managed hotels for 10yrs now I live in them 8mos/yr while traveling for work so I'm very aware of how picky some guests can be but also how tough the hotel business can be to please each and every guest.
Your more than welcome. Thank you so much for watching and commenting on our content. We are so pleased that we have made you feel more comfortable. You will of course enjoy the hotel and the breakfast is amazing :)
No problem Nur. Thank you so much for watching. If we can just help one person then we have achieved what we set out to do. Feel free to check out the rest of our upcoming new york series. Pre travel day and travel day are already uploaded. - Wayne 👍
How was your stay there Nur? I've read mixed reviews but already booked for august using my hilton honors points. The location and price were ideal for a quick trip in to surprise my daughter with tickets to Harry Potter for her birthday.
@@richstevens5727 sorry for late reply. Everything was fine, didn’t get the room I was expecting but we really enjoyed our stay and the staff was really kind especially one name Denis. We had daily cleaning and it was really clean and close to everything and not far from several subway stations. It’s been more than 10 back home but we still haven’t got our deposit back. Anyone had the same problem?
@@nurmihoh8769 I've read reviews that some are still attempting to get their deposits back several weeks after and I've also read some get them back as soon as same day so we shall see I guess.
Thank you for the video, I am staying here for my first nyc visit next week, did you have any trouble getting the 250 hold deposit back to a uk card or was it returned fairly quick? X
It shown about 5 to 10 working days later. As they don’t take the money it’s just a hold. Hope you have a fabulous time. Thank you for watching and for your kind comments :) xxx
How was your stay Emma? I'm booked for August and was a bit apprehensive after reading reviews but the location was perfect for the purpose of my upcoming visit.
@@richstevens5727 Hi Rich, it was great we did have to pay £250 deposit when we checked in but when we checked out it actually returned on my card before we had left for the airport. Staff were really helpful and location is great (turn right when you head out to get to main area of times square) only downside if i was to be picky would be that you can be waiting a while for the lifts as only 2 for the whole hotel but not a major problem at all! Enjoy your holiday!!
@@Emma1611. thanks so much! Yes I've read about the deposit. Is it 250/night for the deposit? I've also read it was only 50? Either way I use my credit card for points so it wont time up any of my cash. I requested a lower floor. We're not afraid to use stairs if it's a few floors of walking to avoid the lifts.
@@richstevens5727 No problem at all, we stayed for 5 nights and it was £250 in total. Oh brill yeah if you are on a lower floor you will be fine we were on 31st floor
Amazing vlog! I’m looking at booking this hotel with virgin too! Did you get it as a package? It’s coming out at about £800 for 4 nights, is that similar to what you paid or are we getting ripped off? Thanks!!
Thank you very much! We really appreciate your kind words 😀. We booked our flight with Virgin separate from out hotel. We booked this hotel on Booking.com and it was We thought fairly priced. The total for the duration of our stay was £368.00 which is $441.96. And its only a few mins walk to Times Square. The location is perfect. That price of £800 does sound pretty steep, especially for 4 nights. New York hotels are normally in high demand so I guess they charge what they want to complete with each other. Have a lovely trip. I'm sure your going to love it. we are dead jealous 😀 - Wayne 👍
Hey, if my mind serves me right about 50 minutes (depending on what subway train you get. I remember some trains can take an hour. The nearest subway station to the hotel is Port Authority Bus Terminal (which is directly across the road) the subway will be the cheapest but longest option. You could get a taxi/uber/lyft in probably halve the time but that will be really expensive. I think from JFK to Manhatten is a 75 dollar flat rate fair then tips on top. I'm sorry i can't be much help. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Wayne 😊
@@mr.sunshine9527 you are more then welcome. Just so you know. Jessica and I will be flying to America on Tuesday and will be in New York on the 6th of August for a few days. Once again we will be vlogging the trip. So if you enjoyed this one, be sure to check out the new vlog in a few weeks time 🙂 - Wayne
Hi, we got the air train to Howard beach station for $8 and then the A train to Manhattan for $2.75. You pay the whole fare at the airport. The time varies depending on your destination, but plan on 60-90 minutes to get to Midtown Manhattan. It’s the cheapest option. You can get an Uber, Lyft or taxi but it will cost you more :) xx

Hope you have a brilliant time in NYC in November :)
Thanx 👍🏻
You are more then welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀
What an amazing room, did u get fresh towels/ toilet roll daily or did u have to ask for it at reception x
We had request towels, toilet roll. Don’t think bedding was changed once, we were only there for 5 days and literally slept in the room. That’s it. xx

We're heading there this Sunday (22/08/22) please could you tell me how you got from the airport to the hotel and how much it cost? TIA

@@HolidayWithTheHeathers thankyou so much for that, we were looking at taxi's but they're not cheap
