- “The service at this property is nothing impressive, and because it is really busy the staff are always busy and rushed.” 2
- “Check-in was busy but fast, and while service wasn't anything special, it was fast and we managed to get a room on floor 27.” 2
- “From the first staff member I met at street level to all of the staff members I encountered throughout my stay, they all were very pleasant.” 19
- “The check-in process was easy and fast, and I was assigned a room on the 25th floor with a nice view of the skyline.” 6
- “The M Club was on the lobby level of the hotel and was staffed by friendly and helpful desk agents at the entrance.” 10
- “the check-in process was really good” On camera1517:16
- “the TV is quite nice pretty big and also there's a big table next to it in case you need to work and plenty of outlets to plug in your electronics” On camera133:17
- “Ditto - I also find the reception staff and the lounge host (guy at door) to be very friendly.” 2
- “And right here is the reception area. Now, the line looks long, but it went very fast moving, thankfully.” On camera160:34
- “Although the hotel was busy, I was seen very quickly. It took a bit longer to sort out my booking because - for whatever reason - the computer decided to give up, although the staff were very apologetic about it.” 3
- “Despite being the largest hotel in terms of rooms in Manhattan (1966 rooms), from what I saw, it does not suffer from the queueing issues that many large hotels seem to have. There was a multitude of check-in desks and no wait when I arrived in the afternoon.” 10
- “For some previous visitors it's this Marriott's high-caliber service that wins them over, especially considering the property's large size.” 20
- “The second-biggest hotel in New York is always going to feel impersonal, but staff members did their best to make me feel welcome.” 4
- “Westin and W, as well as Sheraton, are all part of the Starwood group and you get Starwood Preferred Group reward points at the Westin. It's a newer hotel and, in our opinions, was very nice with a terrific staff.” 5
- “Housekeeping took great care of our room.” 6

- “The M club is really nice, the gym is fantastic and I've found it to be clean every time I've stayed (about 8 times total).” 2
- “Yes, the staff is absurdly busy, but things are done as quickly as humanly possible.” 2
- “Rooms are nice, Suites are better and I've only got one upgrade there but is was a good one.” 12
- “Amenities: Everything You'd Expect (Plus a Top-Notch Rooftop) The Marriott Marquis comes with all the basics you'd expect to find at a well-respected, full-service hotel. There's a 24-hour fitness center, valet parking, room service, and a helpful concierge service.” 11

- “Not too much family traffic here so the rooms are in good shape.” 12
- “And here we are making our way to the elevator. Now, the ornament that I received, it commemorates their shape of the elevator, which is pretty cool. You'll be seeing that ahead. Their elevators go super fast.” On camera162:48
- “Now, one of the negatives about being in this hotel and something that you might have not considered if you're coming here or maybe something that's a given to people that want to stay in Time Square is the noise.” 1
- “I know exactly what you mean about the Marriot being very crowded. I spent a week at the Marriott Marquis and it really drove me crazy - it was so loud outside and so crowded.” 5
- “I'm sitting in the hotel as I type this. There are a dozen teenagers in the room next door. (I'm assuming on a visit from another country.). I'm trying to be cool because it's only 7:30pm EST but they are way too loud for this business traveler.” 2
- “There are a dozen teenagers in the room next door. (I'm assuming on a visit from another country.). I'm trying to be cool because it's only 7:30pm EST but they are way too loud for this business traveler.” 2
- “My main complaint was the elevators! This was in 2001 but I remember having to wait 30 minutes for an elevator many times.” 5
- “The hotel entrance spans a whole block which is actually quite useful as you can exit onto either 45th or 46th street, which saves time. It is literally a few strides into Times Square, and if you want to pop out to buy a few bits and pieces or a snack, you are spoilt for choice.” 10
- “s delivered exactly that: a front-row seat to the spectacle of Times Square, paired with the quiet comforts of spacious rooms and the refined touch of M Club access.” 9
- “I've stayed at the Marriott every time I go to New York--a great location and a nice hotel, but I gave up on it last year. The elevators are just too much of a hassle. The long, long wait every time one needed to go to or from the street or the 8th floor lobby. Too frustrating.” 21
- “The Marriott elevators from street to the 8th floor lobby were always jammed when we stayed there. In contrast, the Hilton was easier to access from outside with far less crowds.” 21
- “Despite being on one of New York's busiest blocks, the rooms in the Marriott Marquis-even on higher floors overlooking Times Square-are surprisingly quiet and good for light sleepers, thanks to well-insulated windows and blackout curtains.” 11
- “And despite the hotel being in the center of Times Square, the room noise is quite low, making it suitable (although not perfect) for light sleepers.” 11
- “If possible, book a room on a higher floor for unmatched views of Times Square and a quieter stay high above the street noise.” 11
- “One of the unexpected perks was the soundproofing. For all the chaos of Times Square outside, my room felt cocooned in quiet. After a day of traversing the city, I appreciated that silence.” 9
- “Despite being spread over many floors, the efficient elevator system which allocates you a lift, meant you never had to wait long.” 10

- “Bruh. I once paid $1000/night during a busy week and I was floored at how shitty the room was. Nasty carpet, bathroom from 1995.” 2
- “the bathroom is pretty big if you can see most hotels these days only provide the large bottles mounted to the back of the wall of the shower big sink and table area where you can put your stuff on toilet trees” On camera133:51
- “The shower was simple to use and had decent pressure which is all you can ask for.” 10

- “The toilet doesn't flush properly.” 2
- “In the bathroom, a big towel rack fully loaded with fluffy white towels is in easy reach of the sink, and the oversized marble bench provides ample space.” 17
- “I'm more of a walk-in shower fan but this shower/tub was filthy, there were brown stains on the bottom which was disguising to look at but it didn't look like it couldn't been removed.” 2
- “The shower is over an oddly shallow and short bath-tub: I think this may be a New York City thing .... the shower curtain doesn't exactly scream luxury either. Apart from that it's a fairly typical shower!” 3
- “The bathrooms were pretty disappointing as they weren't clean and didn't have the best shower/tub combination.” 2
- “The bathroom was also a good size with a good-sized vanity area that was well-lit.” 10
- “The bathroom is actually kind of nice. There's granite counters and bunch of sea spa inspired bath amenities.” On camera15:18

- “The majority of the hotel rooms are around 430 square ft. And that's a pretty respectable size given the prime location of this hotel right in Time Square.” 1
- “But for others it's the enviable location, centered right in the heart of midtown's Times Square and Theater District.” 20
- “While I generally prefer to avoid the crowds and noise of Times Square, the hotel's location is convenient. It's located on 46th Street, right near Times Square and many Broadway theaters.” 6
- “Good location on 59th aka Central Park South.” 12
- “Marriott East Side Business/Boutique hotel. Located next to the Waldorf Astoria it's a bit away from the tourist attractions. Walking distance to Times Square but I'd probably use mass transit (taxi, subway, bus) to get anywhere else. Not too much family traffic here so the rooms are in good shape.” 12
- “Having been to New York many times now it isn't my preferred location (too touristy), but you can't argue that it isn't convenient given its central location in Manhattan between all the major destinations.” 3
- “this place has unbeatable views of the bul drop incredible amenities and a prime location right in the heart of the action” On camera150:12
- “Despite its size, this offered pretty much everything I would want from a New York hotel. A central location, large, well-equipped rooms that were quiet as well as comfortable and a decent lounge.” 10
- “Parking/Location: This hotel has a very central location, which is both a pro and a con. This hotel has a very central location, which is both a pro and a con. The pro is that there is a lot of things that are walkable from the property but the con is that it is very chaotic on the outside.” 2
- “The hotel has a perfect location for exploring all that New York has to offer!” 19
- “"W" is worth an extra 20 dollars. We stayed at the Millenium Times Square. Great location, subway stations are nearby, you can walk to the theatres.” 5
- “I never drive so I don't have to deal with the valet and I hate having to be in Times Square (very close to my office there) but I do like being so central and catching a last minute broadway show after work or catching a train to a Yankees game.” 2
- “So, I'm showing you some of those clips there. We also walked to the Winter Village from the Marriott Marquee. And same thing, it's about a 10 to 15 minute walk, just depending on how slow or fast you're walking. So everything's in the general, you know, vicinity, which is nice.” On camera166:57
- “Regis hotels and more. It's difficult to think of a more central location in New York than the Marriott Marquis. Times Square is in Midtown, and the hotel itself is literally right in the middle of Times Square.” 4
- “The hotel's centrality is its secret weapon. In one weekend I managed to walk to the Museum of Modern Art, stroll through Central Park, and be seated for dinner downtown without ever feeling far from my base. For travelers looking to maximize time over a holiday, the Marquis' location is as quintessential New York as it gets.” 9
- “I have stayed at Marriott Marquis and while the location was great, the hotel reminded me of just a large convention hotel and nothing stood out but I would stay there again if that turns out to be the best choice” 5
- “If you are planning to use the subway, it is also close to the 42nd Street/Port Authority subway station, which is very handy due to the large number of lines it offers.” 10
- “And then, of course, you're close to the 24-hour McDonald's, Popeye's. So, there's just so much available within walking distance. So, you really don't have to get a taxi or an Uber to do anything around this area.” On camera164:16
- “Amid the dazzling lights of Times Square in the heart of the Theater District, the Marquis could not be in a busier (or more convenient) spot.” 8
- “Very safe area with some nice shopping in walking distance.” 12
- “If you've never visited New York before, it's difficult to think of a more central location to explore some of the attractions this incredible city has to offer.” 4

- “momthecruisedirector Members We just got back from our first trip to NYC, cruised the July 2nd Crown. We stayed four nights at the Casablanca Hotel on 43rd between 6th and 7th. It is just a 1/2 block off Times Square - a wonderful location and beautiful, boutique type hotel.” 21
- “I haven't stayed here since it was rebranded a Marriott for the second time so I don't know what the room upgrade or CL situation is like. It's a great location for museums and some high end shopping on 5th Ave.” 12

- “Marriott Marquis add a daily destination fee of USD 30 plus tax which includes USD 30 food and beverage credit, 1 NYC Attraction Tour ticket, FIT Tours Experience and more. I actually don't think this is too bad, as at least you can get your money back on a couple of drinks.” 10
- “The price is average for the area, but the location and overall quality of the experience are well worth it.” 11
- “The westin Times Square was my go-to as somebody who likes an easy walk after a Broadway show - but am switching to the Marriott after my last stay. It's not a bad hotel but for $400 per night I felt its overpriced.” 2
- “Set away from the windows and without those incredible views, the prices here were much more reasonable.” 4
- “The food there is nothing special and is slightly overpriced, so it is better off if you skip this restaurant.” 2
- “I think the Producers will be out of my league price wise. We stayed at the WestinTimes Square recently and were very pleased. King rooms are larger than the "W". Got an early check-in just by asking the conceirge and the Heavenly Beds are wonderful!” 5
- “Overall for $393 per night, which is almost $400 per night, this was not worth it at all and I was leaving this property disappointed.” 2
- “You may be able to find a more luxurious hotel for the price but you will not be able to beat the location if you love the buzz of Times Square or plan to visit the theatre on your next trip to Manhattan in New York City.” 18
- “Overall, I was very happy with my stay-and the value for my points-and would definitely stay here again.” 6
- “Newark airport Marriott needs updated for the price IMO” 2
- “It's not a bad hotel but for $400 per night I felt its overpriced. Maybe because I stayed during a conference but still I'd expect at least decent cleanliness...” 2
- “She also advised me of the daily $30 destination fee. While not unexpected, this was frustrating, given I was smack bang in one of the biggest cities in the world, not at some secluded destination where I wouldn't leave the property.” 4
- “At the far end was the bar and canapé area. Prices were reasonable for drinks, and they were extremely generous pours - pint of wine anyone?!” 10
- “My personal opinion is that both locations are bad. You could not pay me money to stay in Times Square.” 21
- “The only negative I would say is the rooms are a little bit dated. It obviously costs, you know, it's not cheap to stay at this hotel. I mean, granted, right, it's Time Square.” 1
- “There's also a daily destination fee, which can be a little annoying at first, but typically comes with dining credits and a few discounted attractions that can help offset the cost.” 11

- “The breakfast provided was simple and adequate (Aussies may want to head elsewhere for coffee).” 17
- “The presentation wasn't much, given I was eating it in my room, and there was an obscene amount of packaging plus the dozen or so sugar packets with my one coffee.” 4

- “I really liked the in-room dining, the pizza was absolutely delicious.” 2

- “I decided to go for the buffet breakfast the first day and it was a great choice. I was pleasantly surprised to see cuisine from all over the world. Especially the Asian dumplings 🙂” 19
- “Not only does it come with the prestige and reliability synonymous with other Marriott properties (hello, Bonvoy points), but its revolving rooftop restaurant is one of the most impressive (and sought-after) in Manhattan.” 11
- “And the view restaurant and lounge is spectacular. There's a revolving rooftop restaurant with exceptional skyline views and the food is quite good as well.” On camera12:32
- “Nice hotel, decent sized rooms and a good free breakfast in the lounge.” 12
- “I don't think the food is particularly good in any of them and I much prefer eating elsewhere even when a free breakfast is offered.” 12
- “I was a bit disappointed that the hot foods were a bit on the cold side, which is always a risk at a buffet.” 6
- “For the first morning, I went to breakfast at Revel and Rye, a restaurant on the eighth floor. I chose the breakfast buffet. There was a good variety, and the food tasted great.” 6
- “Unbelievably for a hotel of its size, the Marquis does not offer 24-hour room service (but room service is offered from early morning to late night).” 8
- “Crossroads American Kitchen & Bar is the third restaurant (located on the eighth floor) and is your best bet for casual breakfast – the eatery offers an a la carte menu and a buffet option featuring fruit and cooked to order omelets” 20
- “In the mornings, a large area at the back of the bar was open, which meant you were never fighting to get to the food. The selection was simple but had everything you needed for a decent breakfast.” 10
- “Something you should definitely consider is their restaurant at the top of the hotel called The View. The entire restaurant actually spends 360° while you're eating to offer a superb view of the city.” 19
- “The buffet was much like the rest of the hotel, huge and satisfying, though not particularly high-end cuisine.” 4
- “The lobby restaurants and bars are fairly dark and dingy unless you have a seat right on the window.” 4
- “Both the rotating rooftop restaurant and stylish Broadway Lounge have great city views.” 8
- “The dinner was eh it was okay. It wasn't bad at like a 7 out of 10. I'd say being in Time Square, I give it a little bit more. It wasn't anything to write home about.” On camera18:17

- “Coral, a few years ago we stayed at the Marriott Marquis, but it was only for one night. We had a room overlooking times square which had huge floor to ceiling windows. Can't remember what floor we were on but we were way up there. We enjoyed the hotel and the room service was fabulous.” 5

- “Rooms are larger than your average Midtown hotel-around 400 square feet for their standard King and Double Queen-and the layout is practical and efficient.” 11
- “However, the rooms are all quite similar, so most people may be happy with an entry-level room if they are not bothered about the view. However, I loved the iconic view from my floor-to-ceiling windows from the 36th floor (there are 45 in total).” 10
- “Onto the room. First the good: It was enormous by New York standards. I've stayed in hotel rooms in this city before where the door almost touches the corner of the bed as you open it and you can't open your suitcase fully because there's not enough floor space. In this room I could have easily fit 25 people.” 4
- “The room is not the most spacious but it is comfortable, and I loved the TV in the room.” 2
- “It was clean and generally provided everything you needed from, you know, hotel room. It was a little bit dated, I would say. I guess the last time this room was renovated was about 10 years ago.” On camera15:29
- “In terms of decor and interior design, some rooms appear more modern than others. Furnishings can come off as a little dated, but guests rarely cite any issue with cleanliness, space, or functionality.” 11
- “My cousin met me at the hotel, and we stayed in a Deluxe Double Room. The room was quite spacious, especially by Manhattan standards.” 6
- “Going up to the room you'll see a very interesting design when it comes to the hotel layout. There is a huge amount of open space in the middle of the building with rooms circling all around the perimeter.” 19
- “If you score a Times Square-view room like I did, you can stare out of the windows at one of the best views of the city all night long.” 4
- “Most hotels still do not have the right suitcase stands for modern twin-sided suitcases which drives me crazy, but this worked perfectly. There was a large desk with plenty of power points for working and a comfortable chair.” 10
- “My room is on the 38th floor, and it's huge for central New York, big enough for a two-seater lounge and an armchair around a coffee table alongside windows that provide a bird's eye view of Times Square.” 17
- “The room feels a bit outdated but I love the bright, natural lighting.” 2
- “You could not pay me money to stay in Times Square. We loved the Marquis. Floor to ceiling windows with a view of the big tv screen in Times Square. We turned our chairs around and watched Times Square. Wonderful big room too! Awesome” 21
- “Bruh. I once paid $1000/night during a busy week and I was floored at how shitty the room was. Nasty carpet, bathroom from 1995.” 2
- “I had a bul drop view room here on the left in the Millennium Time Square but this room has a better view of the bul drop of Time Square” On camera155:13
- “Pretty decent on room upgrades.” 12
- “Usually my 3rd or 4th choice since the rooms are so small. Let me explain small. If you get out of bed and someone is sitting at the desk they have to move so you can get past.” 12
- “check this out the closet has plenty of room you can just hang all your clothes here and even comes with an iron and a big safety box so you can keep your passport and important belongings” On camera134:07
- “The stylish rooms, carpeted and cosy, include all mod cons such as power points and USBs in the right places along with one of the biggest televisions I've seen in a hotel room.” 17
- “I'll happily admit, even after visiting New York several times this year alone, I gasped a little when I first saw this view. It is truly one of the most iconic and recognizable locations on Earth, and I had a fantastic bird's-eye view from the comfort of my room.” 4
- “The room was fairly dusty and though I get it is a big hotel, I expect for $390 per night that there is better cleanliness.” 2
- “and you have a perfect view of Time Square outside your window” On camera1517:26
- “there is a sofa and a table but unfortunately the sofa doesn't convert into a bed” On camera133:30
- “Renovation in 2011 and 2012 brought contemporary decor to the rooms and common spaces, and the restaurants are now more stylish and appealing than they were previously.” 8
- “Coming over here, you have perfect plenty of space. I was very happy with the size of this room.” On camera162:00
- “The rooms, by New York standards, are enormous -- it is without question the biggest hotel room I have ever set foot in during my five visits to the city.” 4
- “Great CL with and outside open air deck when the weather is cooperative. Great on room upgrades.” 12
- “The first thing I noticed about the room after entering was the view! You open the door and right in front of you is the most stunning view of Times Square!” 19
- “With much larger rooms than the average New York hotel, contemporary decor, and decent bathrooms, the Marquis is a solid pick for those who want to be in the thick of the action.” 8
- “I once paid $1000/night during a busy week and I was floored at how shitty the room was. Nasty carpet, bathroom from 1995.” 2
- “Despite so much free space and that view, the room did feel pretty tired. While this would have a spectacular hotel when it opened 35 years ago given its unbeatable location, the furniture was a few decades past its prime.” 4
- “The room was really nice, on the smaller side (typical for NYC, of course), and mostly black/dark colors. The bed was one of the few light things in the room. They have nice glass desks and the bathroom is pretty nice.” 5
- “Rooms start at a respectable 430 square feet, and they have great beds and flat-screen TVs -- but no minibars” 8
- “My double king room was a reprieve from the city's density: floor-to-ceiling windows framing Times Square, plush bedding, and enough square footage to remind me I wasn't in a shoebox boutique hotel.” 9
- “I think you may have gotten a room that possibly may have not been renovated yet because the rooms I've been in have been large and modern.” 2
- “Standard rooms start at 430 square feet, quite spacious for New York, and especially Times Square.” 8
- “Rooms are notably large for New York, with impressive views but dated furnishings and decor.” 4
- “this is a very spacious room I have a mini fridge inside this hotel room” On camera1517:18
- “At the back of the room, a king-sized beds beckons with big fluffy pillows appreciated by aching joints after a hard day's sightseeing in New York.” 17
- “Funny enough I stayed there in November and found the room, a standard king, to be spacious and comparable to any other hotel room outside of NYC.” 2
- “The room felt huge compared to what you usually get in New York, and it was well-equipped.” 10
- “And the last part, I really didn't like the fact that you had to pay for Wi-Fi in the room, even if you, you know, were renting the hotel.” On camera19:32
- “So, if you have an option to do a corner room with the Times Square view, I would definitely go for it because you can't beat it. And I'll be showing you later on in the video how it looks at night, which is just spectacular.” On camera162:13
View9 mentions · 2 filmed
- “I like the 8th floor bar. Great view” 2
- “The view was absolutely spectacular of NYC, lots of surrounding buildings and tons of high-tech, flashy billboards.” 2
- “The large rooms are in the rear and the rooms with a Times Sq. view are tiny even by NYC standards.” 12
- “The views, however, have remained the same -- they are still particularly noteworthy from the aptly named Broadway Lounge, which overlooks Times Square, and The View Restaurant & Lounge, a revolving rooftop restaurant with exceptional skyline views.” 8
- “I do suggest you go to the Marriott Marquis's Broadway Bar on the Eighth Floor for drinks and for the outstanding view of Times Square.” 21
- “looking at the window I can see some of the view of the buildings and the skyline of Manhattan and looking down you will see Time Square from here it is super nice especially in the evening” On camera133:37
- “Several of the elevators had glass walls, and you got a fantastic view of the interior of the huge building as you whizzed up and down.” 4
- “The views are amazing, particularly from the Broadway Lounge, which overlooks Time Square directly.” On camera12:24
- “The best part of the room, for me, was the view which overlooked Times Square. It did mean I had to make sure the curtains were properly closed at night because the billboards are so bright!” 3
Bed & Sleep5 mentions · 2 filmed
- “these two beds are quite nice and big and it comes with an alarm clock and a phone next to the bed” On camera133:08
- “If it were me, and I had already stayed at the Marquis, I would probably go for the W for something different. The bed will definitely be comfortable (I'd argue far nicer than the Marquis) and it would be a chance to try something new.” 5
- “it is a medium firm mattress that's actually really good we like medium firm or firm mattresses I guess we'll be sleeping well tonight” On camera156:31
- “Though I had drawn the curtains as best I could, I could still see flashing lights through the small gaps. I can assure that you even when there isn't anyone out on the streets, those bright lights of Times Square run 24 hours a day, and at 5 a.m., you just want to switch them off and sleep.” 4
- “I slept very well on the comfortable bed” 4
