Location is literally 15 seconds from the TKTS booth
Living Room Bar is a legitimate pre-theater scene
Cool Corner rooms offer killer Hudson River views that almost justify the price
快速了解: A fading party hotel that relies heavily on its address while its cooler younger sibling in Union Square gets all the renovation love.
@willianaashley 的评论: I stayed right in the heart of Times Square and the energy was incredible. My room had a killer view of Broadway, and the lobby bar felt like an exclusive club. It’s the perfect spot if you want to feel like you're truly in the center of NYC.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Guests love the staff and the 'dead center' location but consistently complain about worn-out furniture and dark hallways.
Reality check
The 'city that never sleeps' vibe is literal here—street noise bleeds into lower floors, and the elevators are a constant source of frustration.
You thrive on chaos and want to walk to your Broadway show
You enjoy a lobby bar that doubles as a nightclub
You plan to use the off-site TMPL gym pass (which is excellent)
清洁与维护
7
Housekeeping: Generally consistent daily service, but reports of missed dust in vents and under beds are common.
Bathroom hygiene: Clean surfaces, but the grout and caulking in showers are showing their age (yellowing/peeling in some rooms).
Maintenance: The biggest issue. Scuffed furniture, worn carpets in hallways, and slow drains are frequent complaints.
Linens & towels: Standard W quality—decent thread count, usually crisp and white, though some towels feel thinned out from overuse.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells like the signature W fig scent; hallways can occasionally smell musty or like stale food from room service trays.

预订前须知
须知事项
The destination fee (~$45.90) includes a $20 daily F&B credit—use it at the Living Room Bar or lose it.
Check-in is at 4:00 PM and they are strict about it; early check-in is rarely free.
The on-site gym is basic; grab the pass for TMPL gym (included in fee) for a real workout.
行李打包清单
High-quality earplugs or a white noise machine
A sleep mask (blackout curtains are decent but not perfect)
Patience for the elevators
房间精灵
最佳选择
Cool Corner Room (ends in roughly '06') for the best Hudson River and city views
Spectacular Room on floors 40+ to rise above the worst of the street noise
需要避免的房间
Wonderful Rooms on floors 10-20 (too close to the street noise)
Any room directly facing the elevator bank (constant dinging and chatter)

“I am requesting a 'Cool Corner' room on the highest possible floor, specifically away from the elevator bank. Please ensure the room does not have a connecting door if possible, as I am a light sleeper.”
常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is breakfast included?
No. Expect to pay $30-50 per person for a standard buffet or a la carte breakfast.
How much is the destination fee and what does it cover?
It's approximately $45.90/night. Includes a $20 F&B credit, Guggenheim Museum tickets, TMPL gym access, and premium Wi-Fi.
Is there a pool?
Not on-site. However, your destination fee includes access to the TMPL gym nearby, which has a saltwater pool.
Can I park my car here?
You can, but it's painful. Valet is around $90-$100/night with no in/out privileges. Use an app like SpotHero to find a garage on 47th or 48th St for half the price.
Is the hotel renovated?
No. The W Union Square was recently renovated. This property (Times Square) is older and currently showing wear, though some soft goods updates are ongoing.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes. $100 non-refundable deposit per stay plus $25 per day. 40lb weight limit.
内部人士建议
✨
Look down in the elevator: the floor mats are changed three times a day to read 'Good Morning', 'Good Afternoon', and 'Good Evening'.
✨
The 'Living Room' bar has a hidden photo booth—ask the staff where it is for a free souvenir.
✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and walk 5 minutes to 'Los Tacos No. 1' for the best lunch in Midtown.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The bathroom glass is smoky/translucent, meaning if you turn the light on at night, you are putting on a silhouette show for the bedroom.
💡The 'Wonderful' rooms are actually the lowest category and feel surprisingly small for the price.
💡You have to take an elevator to the 7th floor just to reach the lobby, then another elevator to your room—it adds 10 minutes to every exit.
💡The air vents in older rooms can be dusty; check them upon arrival if you have allergies.
💡The 'F&B credit' from the destination fee often doesn't cover a single cocktail with tip.
