Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good spot. Not far from timesquare. Nice staff. Wish they had more staff assisting in the morning at the Starbucks. There's no fridge in the standard room. That was incovient."

Hyatt Regency Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great spacious room for our family of 4. Usually NYC rooms are tiny with no room to put your luggage or items in the bathroom. These rooms were meticulously planned out to maximize space in both the room and bathroom. The hotel was not only newly remodeled but one of the cleanest hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Conveniently located in/near Times Square, theatre district and tons of restaurants, bars and shopping. We’ll definitely stay here again."
