Marriott Courtyard Times Square: Marriott on a Budget
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • New York can be one of the most expensive places to stay, especially on short notice. Marriott Courtyard is always a "known quantity" with clean rooms and friendly staff.

    Unique Qualities: Located on 40th Street between 6th and 7th Ave it is the ideal location for somewhat quiet yet close to all the action. Times Square is only "two" blocks away.

    The Plaza: Hotel on the Park Compare Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I told my wife I had to go to NYC on business and would be staying at The Plaza. She actually beat me to NY since I had to travel with business partners.

    The Plaza is like what used to be The Ambassador in LA. It is an institution. Just the right amount of snobery, friendliness, and if you're living there, THEY KNOW....

    Unique Qualities: The Oak Room is by far one of the more unique character parts/flaws of The Plaza. As a place where you can "be seen without being seen" the service is wonderful and the food, though overpriced is great.

    Comfort Inn New York: Not NYC's Finest
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • Over night connection issues forced a stay near the airport. Tried Marriott, but they were full. Noticed a shuttle for the Comfort Inn and asked it there were any openings. A quick radio call confirmed space so off we went.

    While the linen was clean, the walls had enough mold on them to have been cheese and the wall paper was litterly hanging off the walls.

    One night was more than enough. The price should have been more of a warning.
