New York Marriott Marquis Times Square

04/01/2008 Posted by escalera23

Every time I come to New York I always stay at the Marriott Marquis Time Square. The hotel is located in a great part of the city (TIME SQUARE) and is near all the local attractions. Even though you are in the heart of the city you never hear the hustle and bustle from your room, which is very nice. The rooms are spacious and checking in is always fast and efficient. The rates may change depending on the time of year you visit, but it is well worth the extra money you had planned on spending. Great place, great location, great rooms, what more could you ask for?!!!!

We loved staying at the Marriott Marquis. The location is 2nd to none being right in the Heart of Times Square. More than enough elevators to service the number of people using them. The longest wait for an elevator was maybe 2 minutes. Located very close to the many Broadway shows. Many subway stations within a couple of blocks to take you anywhere in the city you want to go. Sushi restaurant is fair. Hotel Staff was very friendly and professional. Molinda at the front desk was especially pleasant and friendly. We loved her. Joey Tampa, Florida

Pros: It was great

Cons: Sushi Restaurant was fair

It was really much more than I expected. Great service, very conveniently located, great food, and great price. If you are in the neighborhood and looking for a very luxurious stay, no matter how long, you have to stay here! You should see these elevators; a great addition to this already enjoyable stay. Walk outside and see it all; attractions for everybody, tourists and businessmen.

Pros: everything.

Cons: nothing.

great hotel, great location. Rooms are cozy and quiet, and as weird as it sounds, the elevators are cool. You'll see what I mean when you're there. But the sushi bar is my favorite

I've stayed at the Marquis twice in the last two years and the service has been wonderful. I've found the rooms to be quite comfortable with all the necessary amenities.

Avoid this hotel at all costs. They have devised an elevator system that is so consistently unavailable, it defies description. Average wait in our week long stay ...15 minutes!! Escaltors were broken during our visit. Trapped, long-suffering guests were openly hostile about the system and we often overcrowded the lone elevator (2000 rooms) when our impatience trumped fear. Go ANYWHERE else!

Pros: checking out

Cons: elevators, elevators, elevators

...you will be extremely irritated by this mob scene of clueless tourists if you are a somewhat savvy traveler of large metropolitan cities. The GOOD: views from Times Square view rooms are decent. Bed is fairly comfortable. Staff tries like heck to help. Very good gym with great views. The BAD: room service food and menu selection, room decor and bathroom. The UGLY: elevator service is terrible. Those "clueless tourists" can't seem to understand this relatively simple elevator system and THAT causing most of the delays. The check-in is a zoo. And, of course, the ridiculous amount of fanny-packed tourists who can be heard complaining because they think they are staying in a 5 star hotel....LOL. Funny note: saw several "Apprentice" rejects step on the elevator and look disappointed when nobody acknowledged their minor celebrity. They didn't even merit a stay at Trump Int'l Hotel....?

Pros: Health Club

Cons: Elevator Service, Mobs of tourists, decor, room service

The Marriot may have had its hey day years before, but now its look is dated, the renovations do not match the aging decor and architecture, the elevators are a nightmare and the rooms are not all that. While its in the middle of everything, that can be a bad thing as well. Crowds and craziness make the location unbearable. The atrium is tall....ooooooo. Big woop.

Pros: standard service

Cons: Location, Decor, Elevators

I have a prejudice against big hotels, but our stay here was very pleasant. The staff was helpful, the room was larger than I expected, and the location is excellent. The rotating top floor lounge, the "View," does live up to its name. But, drinks are expensive ($12 for a glass of wine).

Pros: location, room size

You can't beat the location and rooms are big and clean. Staff was very friendly. For those looking for a hotel in Times Square, I recoomend this hotel without reservation. The only bad thing I can say about the place is you seem to wait a bit for the elevators although it looks like they're trying to address that problem now with the construction of some new elevators.

Pros: location, big rooms, clean rooms
