COMFORT INN – TIMES SQUARE
I searched and searched for the best deal in NYC and finally decided on the Comfort Inn 2 blocks off from Times Square which ended up being a very good choice. The next time we find ourselves in NYC I will definitely be checking out the reviews for this hotel …

Poor Tater! He’s still looking pretty rough this morning, but he is sitting upright in the rocking chair watching some TV and he had some breakfast. So far so good!
