Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
Hotel is in a great location, but it’s older and in serious need of some updates. They have very few amenities in the hotel, which was a bummer. But the location made up for it!

Lotte New York Palace
Always great to come back to the Lotte NY Palace for our annual Veterans Day weekend trip. We’ve stayed here for the last four years and will continue. The hotel is in a great location. The double beds seem larger than normal and are comfortable and the rooms are large. The service is always outstanding. ...
