Top Gowanus Hotel Reviews

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to everything"

Motto By Hilton New York City Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente hotel. Llegamos por referencias de internet y confirmamos que es una muy buena opcion para visitar NY. Es un hotel muy ordenado y limpio. La habitacion es pequeña para los estandares que unos esta acostumbrado pero funciona perfecto, comoda, bonita decoración y práctica. Para 2 personas es perfecta."

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely LOVED my stay at Row! I have zero complaints! For starters, when I arrived the check in line was extremely long (literally the only negative thing I can think of about my stay). The staff were coming along the line handing out bottles of water and mocktails! Made the line fly by! Next, the room was so spacious, clean, and comfy! The bed and pillows were SO comfy! I slept like a baby each night. Location is key! Literally steps away from Times Square! You can walk anywhere you need from here! And then there’s the manager, Joe! He was so friendly and welcoming! Always has a smile on his face and there to help anyone. Also - AMAZING drinks at the bar, and a good breakfast! This was my third time here and I will definitely be back!!"
