When I arrived I was told that rooms were not available till 3:00 yet myself and other guests were all offered an up graded room for $30.00 if we wanted to check in earlier.When I asked for ice I was told I would have to go to the Bar and get it myself.There were no wash cloths in the bathroom.The thermostat was locked on 75 degrees.For a cost of $368.00 for a night this is not a value.Next door the Edison Hotel has rooms rooms listed on their site for $200.00a night and I will try them for sure next time.The morning breakfast buffet was $28.00 so I went next door to the Edison coffee shop and had eggs,sausage,hash browns,toast,jelly,2 cups coffee and orange juice for $8.80

This was a great hotel to stay in midtown Manhatten, particularly if you are planning to go to Broadway shows. Despite being a block off Times Square it was quiet and comfortable. The lobby and rooms are stylish and more interesting than your typical nation-wide hotel. The rooms are small with well utilized space. The beds are low to the ground and very firm. This may not be the best place to stay for families or with elderly but was perfect for my stay. I would definitely stay at the Paramount again.

This hotel was great for it's location and value. It's literaly right in the middle of Times Square. I did read the reviews about the beds being very firm and they were, but after sightseeing all day, I was so dead tired that it really didn't matter. The one disappointing thing about this place was that they charged us to hold our bags/luggage. I've never stayed at a place that charges and THEY did. I couldn't believe it. They charged us $* a bag/luggage, so for our two carry-ons and two suitcases cost us $* plus tip. Luckily they only needed to hold our bags/luggage on our last day. When we arrived our room was ready so we didn't need to have them hold our bags/luggage. I just thought it was tacky. I travel to NYC every year and I've never had a hotel charge me to hold my bags.

A good Times Square location.Rooms are on the small size, but certainly adequate for 2 adults. Beds are very comfortable and the temperature in the rooms is cool and comfortable.

The lobby and style of the hotel very cool, if not a bit outdated now. Service and location excellent. Our original room was miniscule, and I was expecting small; but also not so sparkling clean. Upgraded for a minimal price the 2nd & 3rd nights. Better space, and a real shower (first room just had a curtain and a shower head coming out of the wall) but mildew on the tiles. Also had to call 2 mornings for bath towels. Airconditioning not very effective. Overall, adequate experience, but would not rush back, unless extremely discounted or if the hotel remodels.
