Top Union City Hotel Reviews

Paramount Times Square – A Generator Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"No heat during the entire stay. It was horrible. I should be refunded honestly. "

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Close enough to time square yet far enough not to be noisy and over crowded. We didn’t have a shower curtain in our room and didn’t notice until midnight. The staff moved us to a suite for the inconvenience and turned our average stay into a phenomenal experience. Great customer service goes a very long way! This will be my hotel of choice going forward while in New York! "

Hotel St. James

6/10 Okay

"The location of this hotel is great, you don’t get the craziness of Times Square but you are right there, easy access to trains, and plenty of food options around. The staff if friendly and kind, the bed/pillows are comfy. However, it is an old property (as half of NYC), the rooms have been remodeled, but it shows. Small rooms and bathroom, and my biggest issue was the noise, probably because I was in the 4th floor and my room faced the street - I can say by own experience- NYC IS indeed the City that never sleeps. I barely slept in 4 days. All in all, not a bad option if you get a room in the back of the property. Price is fair."

Hyatt Regency Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"First time visitor to New York City and it was a fantastic time! We got a great deal with Expedia for the Hyatt Regency and I am so glad we chose the Hyatt. The location is perfectly located right in time square and so many other staple places to visit while in NYC like Rockefeller Center, Radio City Hall, Nintendo Store, FAO Schwartz to name a few. Not to mention, we were smacked dab in the middle of the theater district, with Chicago right outside our entrance! We were also a short walks away from Central Park, Carnegie hall, so many museums and more! Back at the hotel, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Rosa greeted us and was so accommodating as only half of our party showed up the day before and was able to get us conjoined room and that really made our trip so memorable. Thank you Rosa! The cleaning staff was so kind and did a great job at getting us extra towels and straightening our rooms when needed. I didn’t catch her name but she was just awesome! The hotel was clean and offered everything you needed. The only thing I would wish they would consider is offering spring bottle water instead of Dasani because they are just horrendous but that’s just a personal preference and the bonus there is that it was complimentary. Needless to say, I would definitely pick this location again on my next visit to New York and you should too! "

Park Central Hotel New York

6/10 Okay

"Overall, this was a really disappointing experience. The lobby itself is beautiful and has a great ambience, and the staff were polite. The rooms were clean and the basic amenities were fine. However, the biggest issue was that the hotel did not deliver what was advertised on Expedia. The room we received looked much older and more worn than the photos online and was definitely not in the same condition that was promised. We also specifically booked a suite with queen beds, but when we arrived we were given two double beds instead. When we brought this up, the hotel did not accommodate us and still charged the same price we originally paid, saying it wasn’t their problem since the booking was through Expedia. Another major downside was the parking. Because the garage is connected to the hotel, it costs $52 per day. If you take your car out during the day and need to re-enter, you are charged another $52. That’s in U.S. dollars, which makes it even more expensive for international travelers once conversion rates are considered. Overall, while the lobby and staff were nice, the room quality and the lack of flexibility with the booking made the stay not worth the price. I would not recommend staying here if you’re expecting the rooms to match the photos online."
