MOTTO BY HILTON NEW YORK CITY TIMES SQUARE, New York

The hotel sits on a quieter side street, but you're immediately in the action. Subway stations are within a short walk, providing easy access across Manhattan. Major attractions like MoMA (700m) and Central Park (20-minute walk) are reachable on foot. LaGuardia Airport is 11 km away. The area is bustling with restaurants, shops, and entertainment, and the hotel's 24-hour security ensures a safe base. For those driving, paid public parking is available nearby at $65 per day.

Rooms are small but well-organized, ideal for solo travelers or couples who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city. The bathroom layout-with a sink near the entrance and frosted glass sliding doors-sacrifices privacy but maximizes space. Connecting doors between rooms are available for groups. Family rooms offer a bunk bed over a queen. Some rooms have Murphy beds. Blackout curtains and earplugs are provided to help with sleep. Air conditioning can be noisy in some units; higher floors tend to be quieter. Note that there is no closet; hanging space is limited to hooks. The room includes a steamer, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Daily housekeeping restocks water and snacks.

Breakfast is available for purchase at the restaurant (sit-down) and the expresso bar, both opening at 7am. The daily $10 food and beverage credit from the destination fee can be used at any of the hotel's outlets. Kids' meals are available for an additional charge. The bar offers a selection of wines and cocktails. For a quick bite, the lobby coffee shop sells pastries and coffee. The area is also packed with dining options, from delis to Italian restaurants, all within a few minutes' walk. However, the hotel's own restaurant provides a convenient option without leaving the building.

The fitness centre is free for all guests and includes cardio machines, weights, and a clean space. The destination fee also provides a daily pass to Crunch Fitness and a daily Citi Bike rental, which can be used for exploring the city. There is no pool or spa on site. The gym is small but sufficient for a workout.
