Top New York Hotel Reviews

ROW NYC

8/10 Good

"A decent hotel in midtown / Times Square area. Lines for elevators were sometimes long. Lobby has some useful amenities. Rooms small but adequate. Overall, a good stay. Surprisingly quiet for the area, which I liked!"

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nicer than expected, the elevators were great. The full size bed felt on the small side, but the room was great and location was wonderful. Right across the street from a subway station we used frequently. We did have to pay a destination tax which came out to $40 per day, just a heads up,"

Empire Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful central location to Central Park, Broadway, Time Square, and shopping for different budgets. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack spots on location and within a short walk. Beautiful property is clean and well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend!"

Park Lane New York

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to find everything was near by. Will definitely be coming back and staying here again. Room was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. The weather was great this time of year for walking."

Hyatt Grand Central New York

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Convenient location"

New York Marriott Marquis

10/10 Excellent
