RENAISSANCE NEW YORK TIMES SQUARE HOTEL

This hotel could not be more closer to the convenience of action in and around Times Square. Moreover, one is also in the heart of theater district. The location is also great for people watching. With all the neons ablaze it is daylight 24 hrs. The circular tour buses also start/stop just outside the front door. The hotel room itself was quiet comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Minimal noise is heard provided one asks for a high room. The windows are double glazed but New York has a high level of activity from emergency vehicles that can be heard throughout the day and night. Not too much of a distraction though. Curious entry to hotel though. One checks in at street level and then required to transit one level, in a very slow elevator, to the actual lobby and then transfer to another elevator to rooms level. This lobby is very dimly lit and therefore provides a very curious welcome.It really could do with some brightening up. Off this lobby is also located an exra- ordinary bar with dramatic views over central Times Square. It has a most spectacular light show at night from the surrounding advertising neons. The only real disappointment is that this hotel still charges for wi fi use. Yet, but not advertised, is the availablity of free wi fi if one sits in either the lobby or bar area. I accidently found it when noticing so many people using their devices in the lobby. Recommend the hotel for both comfort and convenience.

The rooms are nice sized and clean. I really appreciated the black out curtains. Only minimal street noise could be heard from the room. Attentive staff. Second floor lounge, bar, and business center. The lounge also overlooks Times Square. Easy walk to Broadway, Rockefeller Center, and many, many restaurants.

What a funky hotel. Great staff , big rooms for NYC. This hotel is right in the heart of Times Square. The bar has an extraordinary view that serves great cocktails and fabulous food. If you book the hotel early enough you may even grab a good price. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Great hotel, ideally situated in Times Square, close to everything. Lots of restaurants, and bars. The restaurant and bars has a great view, the food was nice. The staff helped whenever we needed them. The water bottles in the room you had to pay for if you drank at 8 dollars which was a bit of a shame but overall great stay ! Would stay here again.

My second stay. I'm a Marriott platinum owner so I used my points. Breakfast and appetizers at 5:00 were a bonus. Nicer rooms than the Marquis. Wonderful staff and personnel to aid with all your needs.
