10/10 Excellent

"Great location…Clean, great bar…"

Hyatt Place New York City/Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was wonderful! Special shout out to Savannah and Evary for going above and beyond! The room was clean and comfy, and the complimentary breakfast was plentiful, with a vast variety of food. Great location within walking distance to Time Square, Javits Center, etc. My only 2 complaints are 1- the air conditioning - it shuts down after a while then eventually turns back on “for economical reasons” I was told, and so if you’re sleeping it becomes very uncomfortable and warm very quickly. And 2 - they placed a large plastic commercial size garbage can in the hallway across from the elevator along with a huge suitcase with compartments for housekeeping like cups, lids, etc. It was odd because it didn’t go with the decor of the hotel and it was not only an eyesore but also it obstructed the passageway when walking back and forth with suitcases and the huge bellhop luggage cart. I felt like something’s like those should be kept out of sight and certainly out of the way. A nice service was that you can go to the front desk and ask them to order you a taxi"
