Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
Hyatt Grand Central New York
Had an absolutely amazing time staying at this hotel. The price was so good. I’m hoping that I’d be able to get a good deal again. I’m going back to New York. This has been my favourite place. This thing in the city so far.

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS
Overall, I’d say the best part about this hotel is the location and proximity to public transportation. That’s a huge plus if you plan on traveling all over the city.

Hotel Edison Times Square
Staff was awesome. Super nice. Bathroom was designed kinda weird. Bed was good. No fridge or coffee pot, but lots of drawers. But hey your 100 feet from Times Square. At the price I got it can't be beat.
