Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

Central New York City

"Yes! Indeed, that was a great stay at Sheraton NY Times Square. The hotel is closed to most of the attractions, the quality of service is middle-high level, we feel important but enough to be ourselves. The gym was extraordinary and the coffee shop amezing. Clean and super secure space, we feel at home, and the people who work there are honest, sincere, and smile. Thank you, and thank you again. We passed unforgettable days at New York."

Hyatt Regency Times Square

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff was nice, the only thing was water kettle not provided in room which was inconvenient."

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a bunk pod. The room was great! My teenage son loved the top bunk. It’s very small but all you need for resting at the end of the day and sleeping. Very close to public transportation and Times Square. I felt very safe in the area around as there were always people around, but the room was quiet and we didn’t hear outside noise. My only complaint… not having a coffee maker in my room. "

Paramount Times Square – A Generator Hotel

4/10 Poor

"There's plenty to do/see in the nearby area of 42nd Street. Thats a big plus!! The hotel's downstairs interior is absolutely gorgeous. However, I experienced having a room with a very large water bug (roach) which scared the bejeezus out of me once I discovered it. God knows how long it was there visiting with me lol. There was also a problem with the rooms temperature. Other guest had the same issue in regard to their room temperature. I was immediately changed to another room for my issues. Although, the new room had no bugs, it did in fact have water damage throughout. Which was an eye sore lol when in the room. My motto, spend only 4.5hrs in your hotel room once awake... sleep, wash, dress, snack, photo op, then leave. Outside of the room issues, the hotel staff was pleasant. The night life in NYC is always fire!! You can't go wrong. Enjoy everyone!!"
