Hotels near Herald Square, New York

Holiday Inn, 6th Avenue, Manhattan We are a much travelled family and have used Holiday Inn many times in different cities worldwide. It was a brand that we, as a family, had confidence in. The accommodation was as expected and the cleaning staff should be praised. However, we were bemused by the demeanour of the other staff – front of house and in particular, breakfast staff. We could only conclude that Holiday Inn had given work experience to people from other backgrounds who had no experience of interacting with the public or serving at tables. We took a while to check in, the young man with headphones in, couldn’t find our reservation. There was no apology and, crucially, no explanation as to how the unique breakfast system worked. We found the breakfast room the following morning, eventually a young man came, we thought that he may normally have been a plasterer or welder trying out this new job, and told us that we needed a voucher from behind the reception desk to access breakfast. This voucher allowed us one item off the menu – any additional item such as orange juice had to be paid for. It was not permitted to pick up vouchers for my two sons or to pick up vouchers in advance for the next two days. The ritual of picking up the daily voucher was bizarre! Each morning was a transatlantic scene from Faulty Towers and proved to be a most memorable experience for all the wrong reasons. We had an amazing time in New York and had so many fantastic experiences of superb hospitality and service; the antithesis of our experience at the hotel. The location of the hotel was excellent

Hotel location is right at the heart of times square! Free internet comes with the room. They give you food and beverage credits that you can use at the 8f restaurant.

I just stayed at the Motto in Times Square for the weekend, and had a great experience. First, let me say that I was born and raised in NYC (I live about 30 miles north of NYC now), so I know the NYC area very well, and it was such a joy to experience the city as a ”tourist” for the weekend. The hotel is in a great location near Times Square, where access to public transportation is very easy, as well as to restaurants, and Broadway shows. The hotel is very efficient and modern. The rooms are cozy, and very comfortable. The service is excellent, and the breakfast menu is delicious. I very much enjoyed my stay at the Motto in Times Square.

We stayed here again after liking it during our stay in 2019. Speedy check in with helpful staff. A good first impressive. This time we were on the 15th floor and unfortunately you can hear the noise from the street as we were facing out onto the very busy 8th avenue. Better soundproofing is definitely needed. Last time we were on the 30th floor and couldn’t hear a thing. The room was a good size for central New York, really comfy bed and pillows. All very clean. Good sized bathroom with lots of places to keep things. Breakfast can get very busy but the staff didn’t stop and you didn’t wait long, if at all, to be seated. Great choice with everything you could ask for for breakfast. We asked for a late check out which cost $80 to keep the room until 3pm, we were happy with this, but you could have stored your cases if this wasn’t available. The location is perfect, can walk to most of the main attractions. Lots of subway stations within a 5minute walk. Lots of restaurants and cafes around. Overall a good stay but if we visited again we might think of staying elsewhere because if your unlucky and your room is on a lower floor it’s just too noisy.

The hotel is located just one block from Times Square, so it is a 5* location, it is a small, five-story building without an elevator, the rooms are small, the deluxe room is a bit larger - the room has a comfortable bed, space for luggage under the bed, a bathroom with cosmetics. There is no coffee/tea kettle in the room, but there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. I stayed one night, so there was everything I needed. I recommend!

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

Location is the greatest advantage of this hotel. Less than 1 min by walk from Yellow R & W Subway Whitehall South Station Exit. This hotel has 40+ floors, but 3 guest lifts only. Long waiting time for lift was annoying. The air-conditioning unit was noisy, as it started on/off intermittently all the time. The shower room is tiny, it was just enough room for an adult to turn around the body. The design of shower room glass door was poor, as the bathroom floor would get wet when open the glass door.

We stayed here for a football game at MetLife Stadium. The location is great and parking is free. We had a car for the game and it was a quick ride to the stadium. The hotel had signs for a shuttle to the game (suppplied by another local company). So you have options to get to a game. A bus stop is located right outside the hotel which takes you to the Port Authority in NYC. We were told Ubers are hard to get. Once the rider sees you are going to NYC, they often will cancel. The staff said the bus is the most convenient and cheapest way to go. The bus offers ”senior rates” which were $4.50/person so you can't beat that. The rooms were clean. The mattress in our room was in need of a replacement. It was concave. We did alert the staff so hopefully they will replace it. The staff was pleasant and helpful Overall, we were very happy with our selection and would definitely recommend it.

The best hotel I ever stayed at. They were extremely nice (cheerful and funny) staff and they were very accommodating. Especially Jessica and Annalie. They went above and beyond. I received a gift bag of goodies for my birthday and I was super touched and happy. No hotel has ever done that for me, and I’ve been to many hotels across the country. The room was quiet and large and very comfortable. Love the bed. The amenities were great and the sushi restaurant next door was awesome.
