Location
Within walking distance of Times Square and numerous other sights
On 46th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, the Broadway at Times Square is aptly named; it is just half a block from the hustle and bustle of Times Square. However the street is reasonably quiet considering its proximity. Other major attractions such as Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park are also within walking distance, as are seven subway lines.
Rooms

All rooms include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with numerous channels, iPod docks, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and work desks. Small closets house irons and ironing boards as well as laptop-sized safes.

The three cardio machines are modern and nice, but the space is incredibly cramped and there are no free weights.
