Hilton Garden Inn New York Times Square South

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Easily walkable to/from Penn Station, Times Square etc. Staff were great, friendly and always willing to help. My only minor issue was the hotel is on a street that did not LOOK all that safe, it was dark and had some sketchy looking individuals. However I do want to stress that at no point was I worried something might occur, just be aware that it appears to look scarier than it is. We are spending another night in NYC after our cruise and I was hoping to stay here again, but unfortunately...

A reception desk with a sign reading "pod express checkout" in a modern building with large windows and wooden slats on the wall.

Pod Times Square

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

My son and I were “stuck” in NYC for 2 nights due to the global internet fiasco. With literally no reasonably priced rooms with more than 1 bed, I used filters to drill down and found Pod. What a cool place!!! The location could not be better for the walking tourist, and the concept is genius. What a fantastic use of space and a focus on cleanliness. If I ever find myself in NYC, I won’t be looking for a place to stay, I’ll be staying at Pod.

Cambria Hotel New York - Chelsea

10/10 Excellent

Amazing stay at Cambria hotel! When we first entered, staff eagerly greeted us and easily took our luggage as we were early for our check in time. Hotel was extremely clean and well maintained. We had issues with our tv and the tv engineer staff was very helpful and put in a lot of work to fix the issue for us! Front desk always kindly greeted us every time we left and came back into hotel. Location of hotel was perfect as it was close by to subway.

Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Sometimes I hesitate to write such positive reviews because I want to keep places I enjoyed so much to myself. But the Hilton Garden Inn West 35th was from start to finish an amazing hotel experience. So it has to be said. I was warmly greeted by Kim and after a long morning/aft of travelling it was so needed. My room exceeded my expectations and was spacious and clean and had a view most people would be jealous of. Trust me. The location of the Hilton Garden Inn cannot be beat. Period....
