This was our second stay at Doubletree Times Square. It's a lovely respite from the huge crowds outside, and the rooms are bigger than many apartments that people live in year-round in Manhattan. Clean and quiet, very helpful concierge desk, and the staff was helpful in getting cabs and providing other advice in getting around. The hotel was not full; we arrived a couple of hours before the "official" check-in time of 3 pm and encountered no problem at all. Very close to the Broadway shows and more restaurants than can be visited in a week -- also close to Rockerfeller Center and a short walk or subway trip to the Empire State Building. Gray line tours can be booked from there as well, and they're a lot of fun.
Great Hotel

A friend of mine and I stayed here for 4 nights and were totally delighted with the room and the service at this hotel. We arrived before 10am and were immediately checked in. Beds were fabulous to say the least. Security was outstanding. Huge plus having a refrigerator and microwave to keep food items on hand. We loved having the extra room that the suite provided. I would not hesitate staying here again. My only complaint is the fact that you are charged for using the business center. It cost me $10-$15 to check email and to print my boarding passes.

What better place to show your niece the hustle and bustle of New York's Times Square - The Doubletree Guest Suites is the perfect place for that.
We checked in at their rather small lobby on the 3rd floor (but who cares - the staff - especially Daniel - was super friendly and helpful.
By the time we reached our suite on the 39th floor our warm signature cookies from the Doubletree were still hot!
The KING suite was spectacular with the views impeccable.
Unfortunately we had to run out to go see the WEST SIDE STORY that night and had no time to see the great sunset.
The theatres are all in walking distance . Great, cheap and most of all convenient.
The room was extremely quiet for such a location and the opening of the windows helped to get some fresh air in and not to depend on too much air-conditioning after a long trans-atlantic flight.
The amenities were plentiful and especially the Wolfgang Puck coffee drew our attention.
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the housekeeping staff came to ask if we needed extra shampoo or pillows or basically anything to make our stay even better.
I don't really care for the hustle and bustle around Times Square, but if you do want or must stay in this area, this is the place!
See you soon for some more shows in the neighborhood and for a good night sleep and a great sunset and sunrise.
Ooops: The breakfst buffet was divine, and if you have time, als George the chef the special omelette - no need to eat for another 5 hours! guaranteed!

We were in the center of Time Square, and really liked the giitz, and the hustle and bustle of the location. We asked for a view of the city and we got it. We were in a corner room on the 26th floor and great views of huge jumbo-trons you see on tv and where they drop the new year's ball. .......No complaints Great location.
We did not have to wait in line for the Empire Sate Builing or Statue of Liberty., We were also able to get on the Today show by just showing up at 7:30...............If it matters to you, the lobby of the hotel is drap and unimprsssive.
