Top New York Hotel Reviews

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"My main reason for picking this hotel was because of New York Comic Con! A hotel right next to Time Square and close to basically everything I needed. Even if certain places were far, like the Brooklyn Museum, the subway stations being no more than a few minutes of walking away made it a breeze (especially the 42nd St Port Authority). The room I chose was not the biggest, but for a solo traveler, it should be plenty of space. Everything in the hotel was clean and checking in/out was a breeze. They even had a nice storage area to hold my bags before my flight out of NYC. Once I return to New York, Row NYC will be at the top of my list of lodging to utilize!"

New York Marriott Marquis

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, clean towels everyday! Food is great."

"This is a great place to stay. Alexandra made my birthday feel special. Only down side is food is way expensive and beware 20% service fee so you don’t accidentally pay extra for tip."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here and will definitely stay again"

Pod 51

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable and surprisingly roomy for a pod. AC was freezing cold. The bathroom door on 12 could use some repairs and overall I think they need cleaning maybe one more time a day. I almost couldn't open the lock twice. Very nice staff."
