We saw "the ball" from our room as promised, but most of the view from the 10th floor was the water towers across the streets. The room was nice, but nothing remarkable. VERY close to Times Square. At the premier tower, you get continental breakfast and cocktail reception each day in the mezzanine. Breakfast was simple continental, but good and fresh. Cocktail reception was very nice - high quality cheese & crackers, veggies & dip, and mid-range beer & wines. Waiter was nice enough to let us each take one back to our room to have later. Bad - elevator keys had function problems, but the security of having people stop only on their own floors was nice. Curtains didn't close all the way - enough for privacy, but not enough to keep out all the neon lights. The streets were very noisy, and the windows weren't strong enough to muffle some of that noise. Thermostat seemed to have problems - either off or on -- and noisy when on. Good - no bed bugs, room seemed clean. I would consider going back again.
