Yes, we did check it out. When you say hangers on the property, do you actually mean in front of the property. Keep in mind that Pure Garden is right beside Times Square and you will usually find cabs and vendors in front of the property. The grounds seemed very well kept as does the pool and bar/restaurant area at the rear of the property. There are 4 or 5 blocks of rooms. There were a number of rooms occupied when we were there. The rooms we saw were quite adequate and clean. The rooms at the rear of the property have all been renovated/updated. All the kitchenettes are toward the rear of the property by the pool. We have booked 2 kitchenette for over New Years as we have friends joining us. $ 99.00 for a kitchenette. I guess I'll have a first hand experience. The reviews on Tripadviser seem quite good.
