ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near Times Square"

Hyatt Grand Central New York

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good with the exception, 1. The room that showed and was described when selecting was differ than what was assigned. 2. The information given via a telephone call concerning a coffee maker was different. On the phone the male that answered said I would have a Keurig type coffee maker but the house keeping department said those were reserved for the suites. So I could not use my preferred coffee that I brought. Other than that my short stay was very good. Trip interrupted by an accident and the manager refund/ did not charge me for the two remaining days. That was very much appreciated."

OYO Times Square

8/10 Good

"It’s definitely a motel level of hospitality, which hurts when you’re paying a premium but the location is right in Times Square so it’s perfect for doing tourist things. Furniture is cheap and rickety (think Walmart college apartment) mattress is unsubstantial and you can feel the slats from the frame through it. AC was definitely loud but otherwise it was surprisingly very quiet considering where we were. Checkin was painfully slow (35 min) but overall it’s a sensible choice compared to nearby hotels. If you’re easy going and not fussy about receiving no luxury when paying several hundred for a single night you’ll be fine here."
