New York Marriott Marquis

I stayed at the Marriott Marquis New York for 2 nights in late July with my husband and son before a baseball tournament in upstate New York. This property is ideal for those looking to be located in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Times Square while still enjoying a relaxing, secure and quiet stay. 1) Location- right on times square with great views. If you’re interested in seeing a broadway show this is an ideal place to stay. 2) Rooms- the rooms were clean and quite spacious for a New York hotel. The rooms were quiet and we slept well without interruption from outside noise. 3) Service- no issues. From check in to housekeeping to the M lounge, we found everyone to be friendly and they went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The elevator system was a plus for a large hotel with many floors. It helped limit waiting times. 4) M lounge- the breakfast in the lounge was fantastic. If you’re not a Marriott elite member with lounge access consider upgrading - the breakfast was an expansive buffet with something for everyone. It’s the full service buffet that other hotel guests pay for in the restaurant. M lounge guests have a separate eating area. 5) Gym- I was impressed with size and extent of this gym given the hotel location in Times Square. If you’re looking for a New York hotel with a nice fitness center - this property definitely checks that box. 6) Resort fee- many complain about this but we used the credit in the restaurant and were pleased with the food and service. Overall we enjoyed our time and we would absolutely return.
