Hampton Inn New York Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Room was in great location. Very clean. Felt safe. "

Hotel Edison Times Square

8/10 Good

"The hotel is older, which is fine because it is well maintained. However be warned that the therehold to the bathroom was raised and caused a tripping hazard. The staff could have been friendlier. We were told there was a bottle of wine in the room however there wasn’t. When we brought it up the next day the guy just walked away from us. He came back 5 minutes later and said he talked to his manager and would get us another. We didn’t ask for the bottle we were just sharing. It was odd to not have clear communication. If you store your luggage they charge a $1 per piece and then you are encouraged to tip as well. It wasn’t the easiest process. Overall the stay was fine for the night."

Paramount Times Square – A Generator Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is in a great location, without a doubt, and price was reasonable considering this. The lobby is also very neat and has fun events. The rooms are nothing spectacular, and the bed is not very comfortable. There were several broken items in my bathroom, like the tile behind the shower head and the towel bar. Also the heater/air conditioner made the most atrocious noise, it was hard to sleep while using it."
