Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location — very convenient, close to everything, and walkable. However, the hotel itself was disappointing. The elevators had long wait times and were often inaccurate. The service, especially at the gift shop, was a terrible experience. The only exception was the gentleman at Starbucks, who was genuinely kind and attentive. Cleanliness was also below expectations, dust was visible throughout the room. For the price and reputation, I would think twice before booking again."

Paramount Times Square – A Generator Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"In general, the hotel had what I needed. Beds that were comfortable and a bathroom. I chose this hotel on a budget and I think I got what I paid for. The bathroom is small and there are fewer amenities than many other American hotels (i.e. no coffee maker or microwave). The bar inside didn’t seem to be open for the stated hours but there is a nice bar next door (technically in the same building). We arrived later than expected and they gave away our room but had another room with twin beds to put us up in for the night and did give us a discount due to that. The bathroom was not stocked with enough towels for four people and the request for another towel wasn’t fulfilled until the following morning when housekeeping came through at 9am. The hotel is in a nice location close to Times Square but on a side street and not directly in the hustle and bustle but still walking distance. "
