Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan Hotel

value for money, good breakfast, excellent location, clean room

Stayed here for the first time for three nights while my daughter was in the city for college auditions. Great location, super convenient to all that the Theater District/Times Square has to offer. The majority of theaters will be a 5-10 minute walk. Even the south end of Central Park and Columbus Square can be reached in 15-20 minutes walking. Same with Rockefeller Center and MoMA. Loved that part of it. About the hotel itself. The room was a bit more spacious than other hotels we've stayed in for not that much more. The room was clean, smelled good, and there were no glaring signs of wear and tear. The bed was super comfy. One of my favorite hotel beds ever. And pillows that didn't mush down to nothing. That's a big deal for me. Always hot water for a shower. Everything in good working order. Very pleasant experiences with front desk, housekeeping, and bell services. There is a grab and go section with reasonably priced items just off the lobby near the elevators. The lounge also had some well priced food and beverage choices. I didn't look into the more fine dining restaurant. Also didn't try the fitness center. Believe there was a $10 charge to use. Had a room toward the end of the hall and never heard the elevator or inside noises. You are right off Times Square and will hear some sirens and such from time to time. Still, got good sleep. That's the trade-off for being so close, right. Several good restaurants within walking distance (Carmine's, Juniors and loads more). A Starbucks a block and a half down Broadway. Convenience is a big reason to stay here.

Good hotel, amazing location. Good rooms condition but bathroom is outdated. Very comfortable beds.
