Accessibility, housekeeping and safety for families
The property provides wheelchair-accessible routes to elevators and offers accessible guest rooms and bathrooms; specific accessible room features should be confirmed with the hotel before arrival.
Housekeeping frequency and room-entry practices can vary; some listings note periodic housekeeping or adjusted service schedules, so ask the front desk about daily housekeeping, extra towels, or crib requests.
- Accessible rooms and accessible shower options are available — confirm features when booking
- Housekeeping: some third-party listings reference modified schedules (confirm current practice at check-in)
- Front desk is 24-hour and can help with luggage storage, extra bedding, cribs and connecting rooms
| Service | What to ask |

| Accessible room | Confirm roll-in shower, grab bars, and toilet/shower layout |
| Crib or extra bed | Request at booking or at the front desk on arrival |
| Housekeeping schedule | Confirm daily or reduced service during your stay |
Practical tips for families traveling with kids
Bring the ID and card that match the name on the reservation if the primary guest is age 21 or older; without matching ID the hotel may not complete registration.
If you need connecting rooms, a crib, or early check-in for young children, request these at booking and again at the front desk. Early check-in and late check-out may incur fees and are subject to availability.
- Confirm room occupancy and bed setup before arrival to ensure it fits your family
- Ask about package delivery rules if you expect shipments (some rooms get first two packages complimentary per one listing)
- No pool — plan alternate activities; the hotel is within walking distance of Times Square, Broadway and other family attractions
| Need | Action |
|---|---|
| Late arrival | Contact hotel in advance if arriving after midnight |
| Parking | No on-site garage; nearby parking available (details on hotel's FAQ) |
| Breakfast | Complimentary breakfast hours are posted in The Placery |
