Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel - New York 40.75968, -73.9843

We had lost the address of the function that we were going to and the front desk found it in 3 minutes. They were so pleasant and helpful!

There is absolutely nothing bad about this hotel but I have to say it didn't have the wow factor I was hoping for from a luxury hotel in Times Square. The room was nice and clean but I found the brown/tan motif to be pretty ugly. The lobby was disappointing. They did a great job of soundproofing the noise from Times Square but the walls between rooms were paper thin. We could hear our neighbors almost as though the wall wasn't there and if we had children staying with us, it could have made for quite the awkward situation. But I focused on the negative. Overall, it is a clean, upscale hotel in probably the perfect location. One tip: most people equate a higher floor with a nicer room. But in this hotel, if you go to a higher floor, you can't get the view of Times Square directly below.

Fanatastic location. The staff were execellent, we arrived early, they "pre-checked" us-in, stored our luggage and were very helpful. The room was great, exactly what we wanted, an upper floor on Times Square. We did not experience any issues with noise (but we were on the 8th floor.) Overall a very good experience, I would go back.

This hotel is one of the nicest I've ever stayed in.

The hotel was wonderful

Staying in this hotel gives meaning to the saying "the city that never sleeps" since it is located in Times Square. However, the hotel is well insulated from the street noise, and one can sleep, if they want to. The hotel has a very modern,edgy decor.

Real nice hotel, right in Times Sqaure with easy access to the subway that takes you diretly to the Financial district.

I really enjoyed my stay. If I was to stay more then one night I would not of picked this hotel, because of personal price restraints. The location is great, you know the say "you get what you pay for".

I used to live in Manhattan for many years, and I always referred out-of-town guests to the Renaissance. It's restaurant and two upper-level piano bars with amazing floor-to-ceiling views of Times Square were the hotel's major drawing cards (other than its amazing location, especially for New Year's Eve). But, after a recent renovation, the hotel has replaced one of its bars with a conference space for private functions, and ruined the other by covering up its floor-to-ceiling windows/view of Times Square with curtains and the actual bar itself (I'm not kidding). They also leveled off the main restaurant's floor, so now the tables in the back find it harder to see the view of Times Square. Still, I'm being picky, I guess. The restaurant, renamed 2 Times Square (it used to be Foley's Fish House) is still way above average, and its view is still amazing, but why did they feel the need to fix something that wasn't broken? God knows, they spent a fortune redesigning the place, which used to be 4-star classic, but which is now ultra-modern with overwhelming artwork which has more than a hint of sexuality (the male and female forms are thinly veiled in dangling shapes from the ceiling and walls). I don't know who the interior designer was (or the hotel executives who OK'd the change), but they should be demoted. So, the bottom line? I'd still recommend the Renaissance just for its restaurant's view and the 4-star quality of its rooms, etc., but it's definitely slipped a notch or two from where it used to be, especially since there are other 4-star properties in Times Square for the same price which are ultra-modern cool, not ultra-modern lukewarm. Shame on you, Renaissance executives; why couldn't you simply leave well enough alone?

This hotel was recently remodelled and is absolutely beautiful. It is located in the middle of Times Square and is convenient to everything. The room was large and spacious for a room in New York.

The hotel is in a great location. Time Square is just out the front door. Broadway shows, Rockefeller Center, and 5th Ave are all walking distance from the Hotel. The security for the Hotel is excellent. We had a wonderful stay.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the service is fantastic. But... For whatever reason, you have to take two elevators to get to your floor. The design was a little too '70s for my taste. You can definitely hear times square noise all night long, and the hallway light shines through the door and lights the entire room.

We stayed there for the weekend and it is right in the heart of Times Square and the subway on the next corner. Just great! the hotel staff is very helpful with directions, although they can get extremely busy at times, so you need a little patience. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay.

This is an excelent hotel with a great loation. The staff with one eception were very polite, friendly and helpful. If you want to stay in Time Square, this is the hotel for you.

The only complaint I have is that it needs a pool! The shower head also leaves alittle to be desired, not enough water pressure. And it would have been nice to have had a small safe located in the room.

The hotel was clean and the service was friendly and personal. The lobby and rooms were beautiful, and the beds were almost too comfortable to leave!

Hotel was a bit pricey, but it was well worth the money for our first stay on New York. Everyone was very friendly and took care of any questions we had. We were even able to leave our bags at the hotel after checking out to do some more sight-seeing. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a memorable nights stay in Times Square! Just steps away from most theaters!

The employees were very friendly, the location couldn't get much better, and the rooms were a nice size with very good views and comfortable beds.

When I booked, I had NO idea the hotel was under construction. There was one VERY busy elevator to take guests to the "lobby", which is really the bar....a narrow passageway leading to the one elevator was very tight and busy. It took forever to get to the "lobby" and once there, the 3 elevators to get to our room were also not running or floor tiles were being installed during the day and we had to navigate around orange cones. The room was clean and the staff were very friendly, however it was a VERY trying stay at the hotel.

This hotel was just renovated. It used to be elegant. It now has an Asian look and is very cold looking. The dining room is very small and service is very poor. They should have stayed to way it was.

We had a wonderful time. The room was clean and big enough for two parents and three kids (5,7 & 10). We were on the go so much in the city, that we were only there for sleeping and changing. The construction did not effect us, but it would have been nice to have more space during check in and check out.

Very satisfied with this hotel. Well worth the money,very clean. Good location. Pleasant and helpful staff. Breakfast just o.k.

The hotel was underconstruction during our stay on 9/15. Not a big deal since I was aware of it before hand. We were able to check in at 10am that day which was great! the proximity to the subway and local sites was great!! The room was nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. I did however feel that the breakfast at Foley's was not worth $25 per person (even those ours was part of our stay and we did not have to pay) I would have been pretty upset paying out of pocket for it. 4 - 5 star hotel I was expecting an equal breakfast. Overall I would give the hotel a 4.5 out of 5. The price was a little much but it seemed comprable to other hotels in that same area.

the hotel was in the midst of remodeling...that was stated in the web sit when it was booked. most of our stay was over the week end when little or no work was being done. my pet peeve however was that the mini bar was never refilled. it didn't bother us enough to ask to have it done, but it seemed strange that for a 4 night stay it was obviously never checked.

The location is great but we had issues. They were jack hammering on construction so you could not sleep in. The water was turned off some of the days for construction. One day the beds were never made up and no call was ever made to us. They overcharged us on use of the items in the refrigerator, none of which we ever used. Very bad experience

We have stayed at this hotel previously. Its Times Square location and size (relatively small) is particularly suited to our purposes. On this occasion we were not made aware, at the time the reservation was made, of the fact that there was a large construction renovation project in progress. While this did not present a major inconvenience, it did detract from the stay. Having said that, we have nothing but good things to say about the staff. The attitude of all with whom we came into contact was one of courtesy, friendliness and a desire to be of assistance.

Fell in Love with this Hotel & the Perfect Location to Time Square! This is a must when staying in New York City!

Abbiamo soggiornato 6 notti in questo hotel. Ci siamo trovati bene. Stanza (2 letti matrimoniali) spaziosa e confortevole. Ottima la posizione per Times Square, i teatri di Broadway, i negozi della 5.th Ave, Central Park, ci spostavamo praticamente molto a piedi. Inoltre la metro è molto vicina. Nei dintorni ristoranti per tutti i gusti. Il personale dell'hotel è gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di lasciare i nostri bagagli fino al pomeriggio il giorno della partenza. L'unico neo la pulizia della stanza, abbastanza sommaria durante il nostro soggiorno. Altra pecca il costo della connessione internet in camera (16 $ al giorno).

Vi rekommenderar gärna detta hotell till vem som helst. Om du reser med barn kanske det inte är optimal stil på hotellet. Frukosten var inte buffé, men bra a la carte.
