Top Gowanus Hotel Reviews

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing is that they charge $6 if you want to storage your bags."

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but the bathroom was very dated and in poor condition. The diner attached to the hotel was convenient but slow service and mediocre food made it disappointing (this is NYC) there are better food options close by. Penn Station is next door so getting anywhere in the city is easy. The noise level was higher than expected even though I was on a high floor and was constant throughout the night."
