Hampton Inn New York Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for 1 day during the July 4th weekend. It was crowded but they still managed things really well. The check-in, luggage storage, checkout, everything went smoothly. The breakfast is really good. There were plenty of options to choose from. They even extended it till 10:30am. I would stay again!"

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, this was a great place to stay. It was very close to Broadway theatres without needing to cross through Times Square crowds. As for the hotel, it was recently redone and the room was great. The biggest issue I had was inconsistent wifi and television. It frequently would go in and out, and since the TV seemed to be using wifi, it would freeze each time. In general, the staff was very nice and helpful, housekeeping did a great job, and the location was wonderful."
