Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
Location ia excellent! Beware large school groups that may travel together as this hotel caters to that, aka there may be a wait for an elevator. Bedrooms clean and comfortable. Beds very cozy. Bathrooms need a fan and some updates as there were cracks and mildew stains. Overall glad it was so close ...

Rooms were well maintained, our bed was very comfortable. Location was perfect- right in Times Square- perfect distance from our Broadway shows. Would stay here again. We did not use the restaurant- just got bagels nearby!
