I stayed here a year ago and there was no line for breakfast (the hotel was pretty new)! The line was surprising but worth the wait - good spread. Used the gym every day - clean and well-stocked with towels. The location can’t be beat and EVERY staff member is friendly and kind. Enjoyed my stay!

There was a huge mix-up with our reservation which messed up daily activities like breakfast. It’s a beautiful hotel, but the “amenities” charged as a resort fee are not worth the extra cost.

They promote having a “free” breakfast but each morning if you were not in line by 7:45-8:00am, the wait was ridiculous, so only if you had all the free time in the world would it have been worth waiting that long…You could not even get a coffee without waiting over 45min. For a hotel that cost as much as RIU, a complimentary coffee bar would have been nice(& no coffee pots in room)

At check-in there was a bunch of hassle because they needed my larger room for other guests with larger parties, offered to waive the facility fee. I accepted but was highly disappointed that the new I originally booked. To top it off just checked my credit card statement and the facility charge is still there!!! Room 3314, stayed 1 night 4/27. The desk clerk was constantly on the phone with the manager to get things to offer me to switch and didn't even bother to honor it - guess it doesn't matter now cause he got what he needed (my room!!!). Doubtful I'd return.

Good points: The hotel is in a great location. Its clean and the room size was very good. There is a small cafe in the lobby, food and drink is good. The staff seamed friendly. Room cleaning was good. We were able to leave our bags after check-out. Bad points: No mini bar, its not a major problem. No room service, bit of a pain but we found dunkin donuts do a nice kwoffy and bagel in the morning. No smart tv, we weren't able to connect our smart devices to veiw photos or netflix etc. I would stay there again but would be happy to try somewhere else.

I have been to NY several times and never stayed at a hotel right on Time Square (a block up). So I wanted to try RIU Manhattan Time Square. The hotel was nice and the staff was simply AMAZING and very accommodating. Each time I called to the front desk, I was greeted with such pleasantry and the simple items I requested was immediately sent to my room. The room was nice but really small and the walls seemed as though they were paper thin as you can hear people through the walls and down the hallway easily. Additionally, I read the reviews about breakfast time and getting downstairs EARLY to prevent the long wait. Also, I didnt like the fact that since we were only 2; they skipped over us to seat those who were a party of 4 or more. I felt this wasnt fair. So the couple behind us we just teamed up to make 4 so we could be seated and not continually skipped. THE THING THAT MADE ALL OF THE NOT SO GOOD THINGS TOLERABLE.........WAS THE STAFF!!!! KUDOS TO THEM!!!!!! They were amazing, courteous, helpful, friendly and accommodating from beginning to the end of our stay. For that I am thankful!!

Breakfast was a disaster - queue to get the lift down to the lobby, queue in the lobby to give room number then queue to get lift to 5th floor then queue to get assigned a table and then queue to get your food/drinks then queue to get the lift after breakfast!

Really nice hotel. Rooms were small, as expected for New York, but the beds are high enough to store your luggage under which is a nice touch and got the bags out of our way. Surprisingly the rooms are really quiet given that the hotel is located right on times square. Super close to serveral subway stations and walking distance to a lot of attractions, times square, broadway theatres, heaps of restaurants. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was tasty and convenient but you need to plan your visit so you're not stuck in a queue.

The location is convenient. The great reviews drew me in but I’m not sure how they earned so many perfect reviews. The room was fine but the two queen beds pushed together were awkward. The pillows were awful and one pillow per person is not luxury. Also, the sliding bathroom door with frosted glass left little privacy. The breakfast wait just to board the elevator to the correct floor was at least 45 minutes each day so we never actually ate the breakfast. This also slowed elevator traffic so I waited for 15 minutes to go down to the lobby.
