    Had a really lovely experience here, the room felt sizable and comfortable, everything worked well, and I enjoyed my stay. Front desk and all staff I met were friendly and helpful during check in and check out, when I was storing luggage, and I was also able to access the business center when I needed to make copies and print things. Cesar the doorman especially made me feel welcome, he looked out for me during my stay, and was helpful when I was getting taxis or heading out into the city on foot making sure I was heading off in the right direction. This location is great for walking to pretty much any of the theatres, so many delicious restaurants, very easy to grab a cab as well. Based on this experience I would definitely stay here again.

    This hotel is in an excellent location. Close to Times Square, Broadway and lots of Cafes and Restaurants. We stayed for two nights in the largest suite in the hotel. The space was large and there were two bathrooms. Most everything was nice and clean except for the two couches in the living room area. Both were dirty and stained. The cushions were ripped at every corner. Such a shame especially for the cost of the room. Every staff member we encountered were courteous and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure you were happy. Housekeeping was great and turned down the bed and left a chocolate on our pillows. Although there are curtains and blinds there is no view from any window. You cant tell if it's night or day when you are in the room. Some of the spot lights by the bathroom hallway didn't work. The TV options are very out of date . There is no Netflix connection. We got to experience New York at Christmas time

    This hotel is in a great location near Broadway shows, Time Square and walking distance to Bergdorf Goodman and all the good shopping. The rooms are well appointed and spacious. Love the chandeliers in the elevator and the doormen are so on the ball and helpful! Took a star off for the housekeeping service. During our 9 day stay it did get better but they forgot towel replacement one day and forgot to leave water bottles a couple times. They also do not have coffee or tea service in the room, which is a miss. Limited toiletries. No lotion or extras, and they did not replace the couple things we did use like a Q-tip (they provided only 1). I was thrilled to see a scale in the bathroom but it did not work and the batteries were not replaced. When we brought some of this to the front desk and asked for some things that were missing, there was no apology for the miss which seems like a basic. The gym is really limited in equipment. Overall I liked the hotel and would hope that some of those housekeeping issues would be addressed.

    Great hotel in mid-town area, within walking distance to Park Ave. Room was spacious and comfortable and staff at check-in was very hospitable.

    Complimentary anniversary gift

    We stayed here for our anniversary and it was perfect. Very clean, with a classic European feel and a spacious room and bathroom. The staff were friendly and efficient. To top it off, a complimentary bottle of champagne and petit fours were sent up to our room.

    We loved out stay at the Michelangelo Hotel. Lobby had a few TVs showing the World Cup which was nice! Easy check in/check out. Friendly staff. Large rooms compared to other hotels of the same class. Very cozy bed, sheets and pillows. Terry robes in the room, safe in closet as well as large umbrellas for those rainy days. Quieter than other hotels, we have stayed at in the area. Great location. Walkable to shopping (5th Ave) Saks, Tiffany, Tmobile, Apple, LV, Victorias Secret... all the good stores! Walkable to theatre, restaurants, bars...everything your looking for and more! Even a Starbucks a block away, although they did have coffee service in the lobby. We will be back soon!

    Nice rooms.

    A delightful, quiet elegant hotel located just off of Times Square in an absolute perfect location in New York City. It's amazing stepping away from the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York one block from Times Square and stepping into this gorgeous, Italian inspired classic building. Love the lobby and really enjoyed the room. It was very comfortable, there were a few minor issues but you just can't beat this location and price too. It doesn't carry one of those familiar chain hotel names, but if you're looking for a great room, comfort and price stay here!! One issue I had was canceling a reservation for my friend who was not able to attend. We were not able to reach the hotel either by phone or even by email. We didn't get any replies and no one would answer the phone at the hotel. When we got there they canceled their reservation without any questions on the same night as the reservation. And everyone at the hotel was exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was just trying to get someone on the phone. But I'm going to say that hopefully that was an isolated incident, but I still need to subtract one star for that. Other than that the rest of our stay was great! Very comfortable bed and room. The lobby is gorgeous and they do serve breakfast but it is ala carte. Keep in mind the hotel has a classic Italian architecture and feel, so a lot of the amenities are not modern, contemporary style, more of a classic style. But they all work great and really enjoyed our stay! Also the hotel is north of Times Square on your way to central park. We woke up the next day and walked into central park and had breakfast. I just absolutely love the location so much that I would return just for the location, not to mention the hotel itself. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good, comfortable room near Times Square without breaking your wallet

    We booked the Michelangelo for four nights while in NY. I really liked the look of the hotel, but the location was the primary reason I booked this hotel. In summary, I really had higher hopes for this location. The lack of service, cleanliness and lack of class from the staff is enough to consider before booking a night at this hotel. The Good: - $10 drink credit per night, per room - Location was great, and a quick walk to Times Square - Noise levels from outside seemed to be contained, beside the bike taxi's with the loudest speakers known to man - The room appeared nice The Bad: - Room service was never available when requested, each time we called room service it rang to voicemail. We ended up having to call the front desk for most things. - Ice bucket is located in the room, without a liner. When we called (as instructed by documentation next to bucket) to ask for ice, they told us to get it ourselves at the ice machine the next floor up - The room had a specific sour aroma, but it was not clear where it was coming from. The Ugly: - The bath tub needs to be cleaned, badly. I could simply wipe down many mold and soap spots with a piece of tissue, and see tons of dirt come off. I keep my own bathroom cleaner than this. To know this is not MY grime makes it even worse. - The shower curtain appears to have been the source of the sour smell. It was easy to tell the curtain was sour, and had not been changed before we arrived - When we attempted to enter the hotel one evening, the bar tender was outside directly in front of the double doors smoking a cigarette. Not only is this rude and disrespectful of others right for clean air, it caused my wife to have a mild asthma attack. This just looks and smells terrible for a hotel who's trying to play the classy expensive hotel.

    Ugh. Not a good experience AT ALL. While the general hotel was clean, the rooms were filthy, exceptionally outdated, lots of general room damage, etc, including stains on the walls, old chipped furniture, filthy AC units, tears in the bedding, and more. While we might be able to tolerate this to a degree, the front end staff, and especially all of the lobby bartenders, were rude and hostile. You add this to the fact that our room was outdated and not well kept, made our stay here pretty miserable. In fact, on several occasions I saw guests walk off in frustration especially over the bartenders and on some occasions the front desk staff. The good? The front door staff were always pleasant, the location is superb, and the rooms are unusually quiet. But trust me folks, it won't be an exceptional experience for you and just look at the pictures I posted. Management has a big problem on their hands

    Th shit that never left our sight.

    See all

Friends thought we were a lil crazy for bringing two kids to Manhattan, but it ended up being such a special trip for us, and the Park Hyatt was a huge part of that. The hotel is beautiful, from the gorgeous floral arrangements throughout the property to the calm, elegant atmosphere. Our room was incredibly spacious, which felt like a true luxury in New York, especially with a stroller, luggage, SNOO and everything that comes with traveling with a newborn. Having that extra space made the entire trip feel easier. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the indoor pool. We took the boys swimming almost every night, and it became our little ritual. They loved it, and those evening swims are still some of my favorite memories from that trip. The location was perfect for a family stay. We walked to Central Park, FAO Schwarz, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Columbus Circle, and so many nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Being able to explore for a few hours, come back to the hotel to rest, and then head back out again made New York feel surprisingly easy. Now, two years later, our boys are older and we're planning another New York trip. I've been looking at hotels, but I keep coming back to the Park Hyatt because of how special that first stay was for our family. It would be pretty amazing to bring the boys back, let them swim in that pool again, and experience the hotel at a different stage of their childhood. The Park Hyatt will always have a special place in our family's New York memories.

I had booked the majority of my trip at another hotel, but I needed an extra night and used Marriott points for this stay. Overall, I thought it was a great place to stay. The location was very central, but it was not in the most crowded part of Times Square which I appreciated. It was a little hard to find at first because of nearby construction, but once I arrived, everything felt convenient and easy to access. The staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful during check-in. I arrived around 1:00 PM, and my room was not ready yet, but once it was available, staff members were helping guests check in using the computers. The hotel has a very modern, tech-forward feel. The room included an iPad that controlled the lights, colors, and other settings, which gave the space a futuristic vibe. The room itself was very clean and felt pretty spacious for a New York hotel. The sheets and bathroom were clean, and I felt like I had everything I needed for a short stay. I also felt like it was a good value. I used about 58,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for the night, and New York hotels can easily run anywhere from about $200 to $500 per night depending on the date. Since I stayed on a weekday, that may have helped with the overall value. The next day, relocating to my other hotel was simple because the area was so central. As a Gold member, I also received late checkout, although I ended up leaving earlier than I needed to. The only thing that stood out was hearing another guest complain about the staff, which surprised me because my own experience had been very positive.

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.

I don't typically stay at Renaissance properties, but I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting NYC!

    Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel was...fine. I survived my one night…read more The hotel has a bit of a strange layout after its renovations (which may or may not be finished). 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.

From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the hotel's unique character and rich history, which blends seamlessly with modern comfort. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations or any requests I had. My room was beautifully designed--stylish, clean, and thoughtfully appointed, with a cozy atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. One of the highlights of my stay was the overall ambiance of the hotel. There's a creative, almost artistic energy throughout the space that makes it feel special and different from typical hotels. The common areas were just as inviting as the rooms, perfect for relaxing or soaking in the vibe. The location was also fantastic, making it easy to explore the surrounding neighborhood and enjoy everything the city has to offer. Overall, my stay at Hotel Chelsea exceeded all expectations. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, comfortable, and inspiring place to stay.

    That it WAS a historic, interesting Chelsea landmark is for sure. For a hotel stay, it's not the…read moremost comfortable, convenient, or enjoyable. The historic charm and association with cultural icons of art and music seems disjointed from its current realty as an overpriced and underwhelming "luxury" Manhattan hotel. It felt like staying at one of those big amusement park all-star music resorts, or a sort of mausoleum to a long-gone New York. The room was basic, loud, uncomfortable, and nearly $1k. It's not actually in the middle of any of the fun things going on in Chelsea and still a walk aways from any of the classic attractions like Chelsea Market, the High Line, etc. I have no idea why anyone would choose to stay here. I will not be doing so again and wish I didn't in the first place.

    As a librarian, you know I had to stay here…read more I went in fully expecting a fun, book-themed hotel and secretly wondering if it might be a little gimmicky. I was so happy to be wrong. The Library Hotel is every bit as charming as people say, but what really makes it special is the team. I arrived by car while the building was hidden behind scaffolding, and the front desk was incredibly kind and patient, helping guide me to the loading area so I didn't spend my afternoon circling the block. 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.

    I used to love this hotel but it needs some upgrades and a refresh. It's becoming a bit run down…read moreand outdated. The last two rooms I have stayed in have had tearing or broken shades, dirty carpets, and worn down bathrooms. Also, getting a cab is a pain and the bellmen are not that helpful. Last time I had to take matters into my own hands and get one myself. Annoying. I'm also not 100% sure this is the most secure hotel at night.

    This is a bustling hotel with a large lobby. I visited for a conference. The hotel has a couple of…read moreexits, but the main entrance is on 6th avenue. All the meeting rooms were clean and organized. We had over 1,000 conference attendees and needed ample space and everything went pretty smoothly. Temperature control was generally good, but got a tiny bit chilly at certain points of the day. The staff were extremely prompt with setting up and removing catering food, but were not the friendliest. They have a free standing pumping station for those that need it. It was easy to access and decently clean, but could've used a wipe down by the second day. They provided a mini fridge in one of the meeting rooms for storage.

    AVOID AVOID AVOID! DO NOT BOOK HERE!…read more I came here around April for a work trip and no where on the reservation page did it say that the hotel was under construction. They also offered the price including breakfast. Arrived at the hotel and saw that they only had one working elevator for a hotel that was over 20 floors high. There was a line for the elevator that you had to wait for at least 20 minutes to take. I asked the about the breakfast and they said the restaurant was closed so no hot breakfast. Why is this hotel offering a room rate price with breakfast when there is no restaurant for breakfast?! They told me they had bagged breakfast, which was always gone and coffee was all gone too. Took over 10 minutes to wait for new coffee to arrive. Renovation work bright and early at 8am. I was offered loyalty points for compensation by the manager, Delanie, and these points never showed up. I was also mistakenly charged for drinking their water bottles when I didn't even touch those bottles. They never even told me that I was going to be charged after checking out. I just saw a random extra charge on my credit card. The manager, Delanie, had said this would be refunded, but never saw this refund come through just like the loyalty points.
