The room pictured on the website and described in the room-amenities desrciption is not as advertised. For the price paid and the location, AND the fact that it is a 3 star hotel in the theatre district left me wondering - where the hell am I? The Tower of Terror? Everything needs updating. The hallways are dank and dirty. Paint all over the hotel is in serious need of a refresh. Carpeting is circa 1985 and worn out badly. I'm surprised this hotel is still in business given its location. If you're looking to stay north of 100th Street in Manhattan then this hotel fits your needs...but in reality it certainly isnt worthy of its physical address in Times Square. Poor choice on my part. Take my advice, spend a few extra $$ per night and stay somewhere modern. Everything here is small and old. The Paramount is only worth $*//night if judging by its other mid-town Manhattan-hotel peers....

...When you see the pictures on the site, you feel comfortable with your choice. However, once you arrive, you realize that it is NOT anything like the pictures. The lobby was dark and gave the illusion of a 40's cocktail bar. The elevators were dim in odd colored lighting. The hotel is undergoing some renovations and scaffolds are placed on the enterance. The halls were dark, carpets were dirty, and walls were peeling. Our room was "lucky" to have wake up calls...but not by the front desk personnel but, by the men working on the building. They were loud with their machinery. The beds were comfortable, but on the floor. The bathroom shower was dirty and had mildew stains. The sink handles leaked water so you could not place the blow dryer on the surface in fear of electricution. The front desk personnel was nice enough to upgrade our room upon arrival. The conceirge staff was very nice and very helpful! The location was great! We were minutes from all the shows we booked. The Little Mermaid show was steps away. Times Square, gift shops, and awesome restuarants, were at walking distance. There is this pizza place next door...that has the best breakfast and the best pizza! It was soo good and sooo cheap!

The Paramount is a pocket of minimalist luxury in the heart of the Broadway theater district.

The lobby is nice but the elevators and hallways are dark and in need of updating or cleaning carpet. The mattresses in the rooms are on the floor. The bathroom is really small and I would suggest bringing flip flops to use the shower. The location is great but spend a little more for a clean and brighter hotel.

First time in NYC-expected high price but thought the room would have a little more going for it,Heating unit made lot of noise and bed took 90% of space. But it was steps from Times Square, Broadway and bus tour. Location,location,location!!
