Downstate New York Kid friendly Holidays

I chose to stay at the Marriott Marquis as I was traveling alone, and it was very convenient to a number of the places I planned on visiting.

Location is superb. Gym is well equipped and in good repair. Breakfast was good - but ridiculously busy. Queues every day. We had two queen beds and a sofa bed which was fine for a family of four. The housekeeping was rubbish - they only cleaned the room one day in four nights, and no change of towels. When they did clean it they put the sofa bed away and removed the bedding. We got back late after a concert and waited an hour and a half for extra bedding to be brought up - despite multiple calls to the front desk- Was really disappointing given it was late and the kids were tired. Put a Dampener on what would have been a good hotel experience.

The hotel’s location is great, but the property is in need of renovations! The room was clean, but it had a strange smell. The beds were comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Felt safe and had a supermarket just across the street. The room was spacious and convenient, especially since I was traveling with my three kids. Overall, the location and staff were definite highlights, but the hotel could really benefit from some much-needed updates.

My brother and I did a sibling trip and stayed here for 6 nights. Overall we enjoyed the stay very very much! The hotel has a very old timey classy vibe which I loved. The front & cleaning staff were very kind, helpful and welcoming through our stay. The hotel itself is in a great location! Close enough to be “in” Times Square but not so close that you’re in the chaos that is Times Square. The room & bathroom were very spacious and the windows were big enough to let in the crisp breeze if the room ever got too warm. Checking in/out was super quick and easy with the front desk staff and they even offer flat rates to the airport which is super convenient. I would 100% stay here again during future travels to NYC.
