I had an enjoyable stay at Casablanca Hotel, thanks to the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff who made me feel at home. The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw from Times Square, which really made exploring the city a breeze. However, I did find my room could've been a bit warmer, as I felt a draft coming from the window during my stay. Overall, it’s a charming spot with some minor quirks that didn't overshadow my visit.
