New York Marriott Marquis

Although I read some negative reviews online about long elevator wait times and police car noise, I decided to give it a try because of the prime location. After comparing prices on trip.com, I was able to book a hotel at a very good price two weeks before my departure. The hotel as a whole is as fresh as the photos shared by other guests on the Internet. There are about 60 rooms on each floor (based on the room number arrangement along the stairwell), but luckily we didn't hear frequent noise from neighbors or passersby like we would in a hotel in Tokyo. Although you can occasionally hear the sirens of police cars on the street outside, or the noise from watching football games in the restaurant on the 8th floor and the banquet hall below the 7th floor, it is generally very quiet. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The side table of the desk can be pulled out to form a 90-degree angle with the main table, increasing the usable space. The air-conditioning vents are designed next to the window and will not blow directly onto the bed, which I think is very good. You have to pay an additional $40 per day to use it at restaurants or to subscribe to wireless internet in your room (hotels don’t offer free Wi-Fi like in Japan, South Korea or Taiwan). It didn't work at Starbucks or the gift shop so we just had a drink at the 8th floor bar and enjoyed the night view of the Times Square ads. We found vending machine in 7f we can buy drinks and snacks any time.

Loved my experience here at Marriott. Rooms spacious, location top notch and the staff were all super friendly. Great views as our room was at a very high floor, which was a nice bonus.

All good except the service in the restaurant.

We loved the hotel. The elevator system was quite different for us. The staff was polite. The rooms were very comfortable, especially the bed pillows. The proximity from our theater was perfect; right across the street. We'd love to visit again.

The location of this hotel is very convenient to Time Square. Also it provides some coupons for us to redeem other activity tickets. the quality of the food in its restaurant is good quality. All my family members loves to have a breakfast and dinner in this restaurant. I will book this hotel again when I visit New York next time.

Excellent location, convenient to get around, strongly recommendable, if one has budget
