4.0

This property has managed to ruin a rather fun trip to NYC and it had nothing to do with the conditions and accommodation they provide guests. While the location and facilities are great, they will charge you for incidentals (when you made absolutely no charges) only to never return them upon checkout. The worst part is that I’ve contacted the property and Marriott International support numerous times, provided my reservation details and all the information I was asked for, and I still never got my $1200 back! My stay was in January 2025, and two months later, the issue hasn’t been resolved. Staff has lied to my face, said that the money had been returned but never presented proof of it. The property’s team has been utterly incompetent at solving this issue, which stains Marriott’s credibility as a serious international chain. By now, I can only qualify this as fraud. Stay away if you don’t want a pricey add on to your trip!

TownePlace Suites New York Manhattan/Times Square Introduce

Looking for a hotel in the Times Square area of New York City? TownePlace Suites New York Manhattan/Times Square, located at 324 W 44th St, is part of the 'Hotels Near Of Me' category. Recent guest reviews present significantly different experiences, with one highlighting severe financial and service issues, while another praises the value and quality of the hotel. Local users from Taiwan planning a trip should consider both perspectives.

One guest reported a highly negative experience, claiming that the hotel ruined their trip due to unresolved financial issues. They allege being charged $1200 for incidentals despite making no charges and that this amount was never returned upon checkout in January 2025. Despite numerous attempts to contact the property and Marriott International support over two months, providing all requested information, the issue remained unresolved. This guest accused the staff of lying and deemed the hotel team incompetent, questioning Marriott's credibility. They went as far as to label the situation as potential fraud and strongly advised others to avoid the hotel to prevent unexpected charges.

On the other hand, another guest had a very positive experience, particularly noting the exceptional value they received due to a great rate. They were "blown away" by the sleek comfort and size of the rooms, the quality of the beds and linens, the utility of the kitchenette area, and the hotel's convenience to public transportation, dining options, and theaters in the Times Square area. This reviewer, who often makes recommendations for friends visiting the neighborhood, found their one-night stay to be a pleasant surprise, especially compared to other potentially run-down and overpriced hotels in the vicinity. They described the hotel as feeling very safe, secure, comfortable, and new, with an immaculate room, functioning amenities, and a fast, courteous, and effortless check-in. They did not use the free breakfast or the elevator but had "literally nothing to complain about" and would stay again "in a heartbeat."

As a TownePlace Suites, guests can generally expect suite-style rooms with kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary breakfast. However, the conflicting recent reviews provide limited reliable information about the current state of these services at this specific location. The positive review mentions a kitchenette and the possibility of free breakfast (though not experienced), while the negative review focuses solely on the financial dispute and service issues.

The provided reviews do not contain information about specific promotional offers available at the time of these stays. For direct bookings or inquiries about potential promotions or Marriott Bonvoy benefits, travelers from Taiwan can contact TownePlace Suites New York Manhattan/Times Square at +1 212-265-4000 (international dialing from Taiwan would require preceding with Taiwan's international access code). For the most up-to-date information on offers, it is recommended to check the hotel's official website or the Marriott booking platform.

In conclusion, TownePlace Suites New York Manhattan/Times Square offers a potentially valuable option with well-equipped rooms and a convenient location in Times Square. However, a significant recent report of unresolved financial and service issues should give potential guests pause. Travelers from Taiwan should carefully consider these contrasting experiences and perhaps seek more recent reviews or contact the hotel directly to inquire about their policies and current guest satisfaction levels before making a booking.

This is a solid option in the Times Square area especially if you are fortunate enough to get a great rate as I did. I was blown away by the value this hotel offers considering the sleek comfort and size of the rooms, the quality of the beds and linens, the utility of the kitchenette area, and the convenience to transit, dining, and theater. I often have to make recommendations for friends visiting the neighborhood and wanted to check this hotel out for a night before doing so. My experience was very positive and I have paid much more for much less in this neighborhood. I believe some of the bad reviews are from people that just don't know how run down, horrible, and overpriced fleabag hotels can be in NYC, especially in the Times Square area. This was an extremely pleasant exception and felt very safe, secure, comfortable, and new. The room was immaculate, all lighting and temperature controls worked, towels and soap and hot water were plentiful, king bed and linens were comfortable and clean. Wonderful modern bathroom. Smart TV worked great. Did not use the Wi-Fi so can't comment. Seating fabrics were clean, fresh, and cushions were comfortable. Hot water was instantaneous in the shower and at the sinks. Fridge kept drinks cold. Fast, courteous, personable, and effortless check-in made a great first impression.. Did not try the free breakfast so no opinion. Did not use the elevator as my room was up a short flight of stairs off the lobby. Literally nothing to complain about here and would stay again in a heartbeat.

I’m happy with my stay here. It’s in a great location, a close walk from Grand Central Station and Times Square. The room was big enough for my wife and I, spending 3 days of our honeymoon here. The kitchen area had a mini fridge enough for a couple drinks/take-out containers, a microwave, and a sink. The bedroom was a comfortable size and nice bathroom. And had a big window with a view of the street. The staff was also friendly with storing our bags after we checked out so we could still explore the city and offering bottled water during breakfast and warm cookies. We will return to this accommodating hotel.

My teenage daughter and I stayed here for a 4 day trip in NY City. I can't say enough great things about staying here! The staff were all so friendly and accommodating, the breakfast was great everyday, coffee and water in the lobby at all times, the proximity to everything was amazing! Overall an excellent stay!

Great little hotel, free breakfast which you can take back to room or grab and go which is a bonus! The rooms are very clean and well maintained, and include everything you need for a city break including cooking facilities, however they are just slightly on the small size which I understand is pretty normal for NYC (though completely adequate for a couple only there to sleep) Staff were all lovely, rooms serviced perfectly every day. Location is excellent, close to tourist activities in midtown including times square and there is a subway station just at the end of the street. Would definitely stay again
