Hyatt Regency Times Square
I recommend this hotel. It’s was 10 out 10… the desk crew was very polite and made sure I had my room on time because I got there early. The bar area 10 and cleanness of hotel 10…. Love it because it was steps from the Barrymore theater where I was in town for Broadway play.
