Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean and well run. Helpful and efficient staff. Excellent location, and user friendly (once you figure out the clever lifts system). One suspects its glory days were a few decades ago but a good budget solution for the area."

Row NYC

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is newly renovated and opened a month ahead of time. Except for two nights without TV (because the carpet installers cut the cable lines) our stay turned out great. The staff were courteous and efficient—and seemed genuinely pleased to see you (Al of to customer training). The hotel is across the street from the subway and a block from crosstown buses. And of course around the block from the theater district. I used to stay at the Penn across the street from The Garden whenever I came to NYC. Now it will be The Row"

Hampton Inn New York Times Square

4/10 Poor

"The property has a great location in central Manhattan. The physical premises appear to be under construction. There is not lobby to speak of, and the organization of elevators is complex and confusing. Our room was clean, but the facilities showed a lot of wear. Price does include a free breakfast, although it is extremely basic. Our objection had to do with the check-inn process. We arrived at 3:50 for a scheduled 4:00 PM check-in and were told we had to wait. We returned 45 minutes later and were informed there was no room available which matched the room we had reserved via Expedia. We ended up in a tiny room with (literally) barely space to turn around, and instead of a City view we had a back wall view."

Aura Hotel Times Square

4/10 Poor

"Don't be fooled! This is not a 4-star hotel. It's barely a 3-star. The room smelled bad, as did the bathroom. The mattress sagged too much, making it difficult to sleep. The room needs maintenance. It's damp and has several other issues. They don't even provide complimentary water in the room, and there's no mini-fridge. The room also faces an interior courtyard, so it gets no sunlight and is very dark, requiring the lights to be on constantly. A mediocre room for a very, very high price. The only good thing is the location. I will never stay here again."
