Great location near Times Square and Broadway. Clean room, friendly staff, and easy check-in/check-out. Rooms are small, but overall a good stay at an affordable price point for Manhattan hotels.

PUBLIC, an Ian Schrager hotel
This is a really lovely hotel in a great location. My only gripe is the resort fees they charge, an 'all access' fee for access to gym etc. Whether you use those amenities or not. Seems dishonest to me.

Pod Times Square
My wife and I had booked a Queen-size bed but were given an uncomfortable Full-size one instead, in a very cramped space. Neither of us slept very well, but we were given another room with a Queen mattress for our second night’s stay.

Hyatt Grand Central New York
Room was not the cleanest. Bathroom was dirty with hair. The picture on the wall wasn’t wiped down and there was splashes of substance on it.There was trash behind the ottoman in the bedroom. The bedsheets on one of the beds had some type of substance on it and some other dirty marks.
