Hilton Garden Inn New York/Times Square Central

Looking for accommodation in the heart of Times Square? The Hilton Garden Inn New York/Times Square Central, located at 136 W 42nd St, is part of the 'Hotels Near Of Me' category. Recent guest reviews present contrasting opinions, with some praising its location and service, while others express disappointment with room size and views. Travelers from Taiwan should consider these mixed perspectives.

One recent guest who paid for a city view reported a significant disappointment, as their view was obstructed by a "dirty roof top and construction." They felt that the hotel should remove the city view option if it is obscured. This guest was particularly upset as it was their child's first time in NYC, and they had hoped for a nighttime view of Times Square. While they appreciated a $10 credit for dry cleaning and snacks, they noted that prices within the hotel were significantly marked up ($8 for a bottle of soda). They found the staff to be "ok" but overwhelmed during check-in and check-out rushes due to insufficient staffing in the "tiny lobby," though they did acknowledge the staff were friendly. Regarding the room, a single queen, they described it as "so so so tiny," making it difficult to move around the bed. This guest concluded that the location was the only positive aspect but would look for other accommodations next time.

In contrast, another guest reported being "couldn't be more pleased" with their recent stay at the same Hilton Garden Inn. They found the "room standard was excellent"—describing it as "spacious, clean, and well-appointed," providing all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. They also mentioned an "incredible restaurant by the hotel" (though did not provide further details). This guest lauded the "unbeatable location," being just steps away from the vibrant energy of Times Square, making it easy to explore the city's attractions, catch shows, and find places to eat. They also highly praised the staff, describing them as "incredibly helpful and friendly," always ready to assist, and adding a "personal touch" to their stay. This reviewer highly recommends the Hilton Garden Inn for its fantastic location, great room quality, and attentive service, considering it the perfect base for exploring New York City.

The reviews provide differing opinions on room size, with one guest finding a single queen extremely small and the other finding their room spacious. Both reviewers agree on the hotel's excellent location in Times Square and the friendliness of the staff, though one noted issues with staffing levels during busy times.

The provided reviews do not contain specific details about the "incredible restaurant by the hotel" mentioned in one review, nor do they mention other potential services or amenities such as a fitness center or business facilities. There is also no information about specific promotional offers available at the time of these stays.

In conclusion, the Hilton Garden Inn New York/Times Square Central offers a prime location in the heart of Times Square and generally friendly staff. However, potential guests from Taiwan should be aware of reports of very small single queen rooms and the possibility of obstructed city views due to construction. Other guests have found the rooms spacious and the overall experience excellent. It is recommended to inquire about room sizes and potential view obstructions when booking and to consider the mixed feedback regarding the hotel's accommodations.
