    Great hotel, quiet and well appointed. Steps away from Times Square- just around the corner. The staff was friendly and attentive, bed was very comfortable. Rick's Cafe on the 2nd floor was a great start for our continental breakfast with super hostesses that toasted my bagels and were very on top of things. It was a great spot, as well, for enjoying a tea and fruit after a busy day! Love this place and will stay here again! Well done. Tony's DiNapoli,next door and accessible from The Casablanca lobby, is also a great spot to enjoy a nice family style Italian dinner.

    This is a really nice midtown choice. On 43rd St. between Sixth and Times Square, it is an easy walk to the majority of Broadway theaters. The interior design sets you up for an atmospheric stay right away, with its rich woods and exotic tiles. Rick's Cafe on the second floor is a whopper of an amenity -- a large space with lots of rattan furniture offering coffees, teas, sodas, seltzers, chips, Cliff bars and fresh fruit 24/7. There's actually quite a bit of value in that and they encourage taking advantage. There's also a small outdoor courtyard that's extra nice in good weather. Apparently the evening wine hour is a victim of the pandemic, but oh well. I sprang for a premium room to get some extra space and I'm glad I did. My traveling companions reported that the standard rooms are very tight. Mine had plenty of space, including a surprisingly large bathroom with a huge wicker-shelved stand for toiletries and towels. The Moroccan theme extends to the bed coverings and the artwork on the walls. The bed was quite comfortable and they provide a white noise machine on the bedside table, which can be helpful in covering some of the street noise, which can be quite loud since it's not a tall building. Also, the A/C unit was completely mystifying to me and access to it was weird (you have to open the window -- don't ask). But the silent ceiling fan kept the temperature just right and also on the plus side, I had asked in my reservation to have a minifridge brought to the room and it was there waiting when I checked in. We didn't get to try the Italian restaurant attached to the hotel because it was always full, so I guess it's popular. There's really not much else of note on the block except a pretty cool Belgian bar several doors east of the Casablanca.

    My husband and I spent a weekend at the Casablanca when we went into the city to see Hamilton. It was a lovely place to stay. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful with extra applause to Maria in the breakfast room. The continental breakfast was very nice with plenty of choices. The room was spotless and while not huge, perfectly adequate to our needs. There are beautiful orchids all over the lobby.

    I stayed at one of their sister facilities several years and I was planning to stay there again on my last trip but decided to stay here instead because of its location and it was a tab bit cheaper. I love the location right next to Times Square and easy access to a number subway lines. Uptown, Downtown, Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn are all easy to reach from here. It is walking distance to most of the major tourist sites in Midtown. For a mid-city location, the room and bathroom are a good size. The bed was a full size and is comfortable. My room had a small seating table with 2 chairs and a deep closet. It was more than enough room for 2 people. Bathroom is spacious but could use a little more counter space around the sink. Water pressure was good and plenty of hot water. My room had a window and morning sun but I do not think I looked out at window one time. I love the amenities on the second floor for snacks and coffee. It was a nice place to relax for a few minutes after a long day of touring to relax before heading up to my room. Wi-Fi was good and fast. Their was rarely anyone there during my stay. There is a little outdoor terrace off to the side if you wanted a little fresh air. I love the architecture in the stairwell leading up beyond the second floor. I would definitely recommend this place to stay.

    This is how thoughtful the Casablanca staff are!

For this Marriott the location is excellent if you are going to watch a show on Broadway. Very convenient for the play and also get a subway to anywhere else you have to go. The rooms are generally very nice and this hotel also has everything connected and controlled through a tablet which is very appealing to me. They also have a nice bar right in the hotel that is open till late. The only downside is the size. Now hotels in major cities like this like New York or Tokyo are small and pricey. Two things that can sort of negatively affect your opinion but considering they are all like that in the area, you have to compare accordingly. The only real downside for me is that the toilet is literally next to to the shower to the point that you could shower while using the toilet (I took a picture of my hand holding the shower handle on top of the toilet seat as a joke) and the sink is outside to wash your hands after using the restroom. I feel that they could have done a better design for this to avoid it. It didn't appeal to me and it's the only thing keeping me from giving this hotel 5 stars. I will probably stay here again when I go to watch another play.

My kids and I really liked the water infused with cucumber (or lemon-lime another day) by the elevators. It's a great transition from bustling Manhattan to walk into this hotel. The restaurant Jams on the first floor is also great, and nice to be able to have a delicious meal right at the hotel. Excellent food and coffee - we went for both breakfast and dinner here. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff helped make the stay feel special. The front desk and door staff were consistently helpful and welcoming. Our rooms were excellent, with a great view, comfortable beds, and a lot of thoughtful sustainability features. I especially liked that all of the water in the hotel is filtered. I did not use the fitness center on the second floor, but I looked great. The location is phenomenal, just steps from Central Park. With our kids, we were able to easily get to the Central Park Zoo, Heckscher Playground, and the Billy Johnson Playground, and my wife and I were also able to walk to a Broadway show in the evening. It was a great hotel for a family trip, and we hope to be back for our next NYC trip!

It's too bad the hotel was a bummer.

One thing to note: the hotel sits right above a sports bar, so it can get noisy when there's a game on. The gym was a low point.

You enter on the first floor, but the lobby is on the sixth floor. I was having flashbacks to Tokyo... There are four elevators, and when I checked in, the place was packed. Some event must have been going on because getting an elevator was an adventure (a sad one). It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C. I'd get warm, the air would finally kick on, I'd be comfortable for about ten minutes...then the cycle would repeat all night. Another thing that caught me off guard was the ceiling. Maybe they're going for an industrial look, but it was basically unfinished concrete. Other than those complaints, everything else in the room was perfectly acceptable, and for a one night stay, it did the job.

The Library Hotel is every bit as charming as people say, but what really makes it special is the team.

Housekeeping was so gracious and helpful throughout my stay, the bartender at Bookmarks very kindly helped my friend carry our drinks down to the room, and checkout took less than 30 seconds. Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The themed rooms are such a fun touch (I loved seeing how each one was inspired by a different subject), but I also have to give a shout-out to the practical things. I took a few work video calls from my room on the 12th floor, and the Wi-Fi was ridiculously good - honestly stronger than the Wi-Fi in my own house when I'm sitting five feet from the modem. Not a second of lag. The TV also had a ton of premium channels, which was such a fun surprise after long days exploring the city. And finally, a standing ovation for the real MVP: the air conditioning. New York was basically a sauna while I was there, and every time I walked back into my room I was greeted by the most glorious arctic blast. It was so good that my friends ended up wanting to hang out in my room and order dinner instead of going back out into the heat. Perfect stay from beginning to end. I can't wait to come back.
