Top Columbus Circle Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Grand Central New York

8/10 Good

"The room is a good size. The hotel looks clean and is well located (close to many tourist spots). The rooms are in urgent need of renovation. The bathtub has mold, and the sink looks worn out with broken parts."

Arlo Midtown

8/10 Good

"Staff were great and always helpful. Access to the elevators for high floors is fantastic and the hotel is clean and close enough to make most attractions walkable, without living in a very noisy area. If i was to have one criticism it would be that our room was not cleaned until after 17:00 on 3 of the 4 days of our stay. Seems like a short staffing issue, however it’s a little frustrating to be out all day and return to a room that has not been cleaned (we also raised with the hotel whilst onsite)"

The Manhattan at Times Square

2/10 Terrible

"First the hallway rug on the 12th floor was disgustingly dirty. Our room had a broken bed so that when you sat on it you were practically on the floor. The tub in the bathroom did not drain. When you took a shower you were standing in a foot of water. The room rug was dirty and I was afraid to walk on it without shoes. Free breakfast was a joke. You were allowed one drink, one fruit and one breakfast item. The woman handing out the breakfasts was unfriendly and seemed annoyed. One bright spot however was the lovely doorman. He was the most helpful and very kind. He answered all our questions."

New York Marriott Marquis

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and I do once or twice a year. Its location is so convenient for a lover of Broadway shows, as I am. This visit, I had a show scheduled at 1pm and arrived at 11am. The gentleman at the front desk was able to get me into my room right away, rather than having to wait until after my show was over. I need to ride a mobility scooter, which can sometimes be a challenge with the elevators, but there is almost always someone around to help hold the doors. The rooms are spacious and clean. The housekeeping staff are so helpful! Whenever I was exiting or entering my room when they were anywhere near my room, they would rush to hold open the door to my room. It costs somewhat more than other nearby hotels, but the quality and service are worth it!"
