Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing stay from beginning to end. The property was beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Breakfast and the bar area were both great, and the overall atmosphere made the experience feel relaxing and luxurious. The location was convenient and perfect for exploring the city. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting!"

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is amazing, no question—but it’s a little rough around the edges (e.g., rust spot in the tub, peeling wallpaper, broken shade, broken drawer in nightstand). Also, these rooms are made for TALL people. I’m on the shorter side (5 ft, 4 in.), and there were some things (like the closet) that were a bit challenging. The fitness center is fine, but they have two large televisions with no remote, which was a bummer. But the location is really quite fabulous."

Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square

8/10 Good

"Great easy access to Times Square from this hotel. Short walk to the subway station which was also convenient. The lobby was quite nice, staff was friendly. We found the room a bit dated and needing some cosmetic repairs but worked fine. Would stay again if I wanted to be close to Times Square."
