The Marriott Marquis is a beautiful hotel located in the heart of Times Square. We arrived on June 27, 2006 for a girl's weekend and had received a great rate of $239 per night on the Marriott website. This was a prepaid non-refundable rate. The room was large with two double beds and we had an exquisite view of Times Square (pictures attached). Check-in was quick and easy and the staff was friendly and accommodating. We arrived early and were able to check in right away.

There are two Starbucks located on the premises along with a fantastic hotel lounge located on the eighth floor. Great pineapple cosmos although a bit pricey! But hey, it's NYC and you can't beat the view of Times Square! There is also a rotating restaurant and bar on one of the higher level floors. The workout room is conveniently located on the 23rd floor surrounded by the glass elevators and a splendid city view but, who had time to workout?

Several theaters are located virtually steps away from the hotel and Junior's Cheesecake is across the street. The room and the bathroom were nicely appointed and immaculate. The beds were extremely comfortable with down comforters and an abundance of pillows which made for a great night sleep after hours of walking.

We splurged one morning and had breakfast at the buffet located on the eighth floor. The food was well worth the expense. We enjoyed this hotel so immensely that we are spoiled and only want to stay here. However, the cost is not always affordable.

The only complaint we had was the elevators, which were very slow. Although there are several banks of elevators, at times the wait was 5 minutes or more. Highly recommended!
