I had always heard about the luxury that was the Times Square Marquis. I finally got to experience that for 3 nights in October. After spending the first half of my trip in the Brooklyn Marriott, this was a real treat. While the Brooklyn hotel is a bit more remote, this one is right in the middle of everything.

If you want to be in the center of Times Square, this is where you want to be! It is within walking distance of TKTS, all Broadway venues, most major shopping, and Central Park.

From the moment I walked into the lobby, I knew I was in the lap of luxury. The rooms here are huge, just like the ads say. And the staff wonderful. While they didn't learn my name on sight like the people in Brooklyn, I still felt right at home here.

I was upgraded to a 47th floor room with a Times Square view. That was absolutely amazing.

If you really want to treat yourself to a decadent weekend in the city, this hotel is where you should stay. You won't be disappointed because this is truly 5 star service and atmosphere. Marriott got this one right.
