Staybridge Suites Times Square – New York City

This was a decent hotel for NY. One thing I was not expecting but ended up utilizing was the FREE HAPPY HOUR Tues-​Thurs 5−7pm. Considering the cost of a beverage anywhere else nearby, this was much appreciated.
In regards to the hotel room– it was nice although the walls are v thin! A person down the hall had a cough of some sort which would occasionally wake me up in the night. Other than that, there were no complaints :)

Got an amazing deal on 2 rooms for 2 nights! Make sure you ask for parking with the rate, or you’ll get stuck paying $ 35 a night for cars, or $ 45 a night for an SUV.
The hotel is super narrow, but it goes up 32 floors. I was on the 30^th and had a great view of the Empire State Building. It’s also located across the street from the subway, and 5 min walk to Times Square.
Free breakfast (a real breakfast too) is included with the room, but make sure to get there earlier because it gets crowded fast.
Not sure what another review was talking about when they mentioned the elevators and the staff using them? There are 3 elevators in the hotel, of course during rush hours it can be a wait; so leave earlier! One morning I did have to wait almost 10 min for the elevator, but I got a late start leaving the room (10am).
There was someone who helped load and unload all my luggage from the car. That was a big help.
The bar was overpriced, go somewhere else.
The room was perfect. Full size fridge, pots and pans, utensils, stove, microwave, clean bathroom, and the closet space held 12 jackets (and it had like 7 – 10 hangars in).
It was super easy to get to. After you come out of the Lincoln tunnel, stay straight for 1 – 2 lights and its on the right hand side.
I’d come back to this place or recommend it in a heartbeat.

We found a deal for a night here through Priceline. we were a bit nervous about the place, how cheap the room was given that it was in the heart of Times Square. When we got to the hotel, the check-​in was pretty fast and we were given a room on the 9^th floor. A higher floor would have been nicer but this is all they could accommodate and being so last minute, we couldn’t complain. The room was decent sized considering it’s NYC; was pretty surprised to see a full-​size fridge, microwave, closet safe, oven, stove top, and full set of silverware/​dishes/​plates/​cups/​wine glasses.
They had complimentary breakfast in the morning which was decent, can’t complain about free, right? Your regular run of the mill continental hotel/​motel breakfast. Overall, we would stay here again for the price we paid about $ 140. I heard there was a fitness center and rooftop bar (?) but we weren’t able to check these out.

This hotel is very good for the price you pay and its location.
Pros:
* free breakfast (not continental/​real breakfast eggs, toast etc)
*stove, microwave, dining utensils, fridge.
*centrally located, walking distance from major attractions/​locations.
*nice welcoming staff
*clean
*across the street from Port Authority Terminal
*chase bank and B of A on same street walking distance
There is no Cons for this Hotel. Recommend everyone to come here!

We stayed here on points, but were treated like the Spire Elite that we are!
Since we hotel hopped, we got here super early (like 845 early) and the front desk allowed us to eat the free breakfast buffet — sore! I was hungry!
We were greeted by singing bellmen who took stowed our luggage while we explored the city (we didn’t get back until well after dinner). We were on the top floor with a beautiful view (there is a parking garage that allows you to see the river and buildings).
The next day we got breakfast again and ran around the city hitting up some of the TJmaxxes. I would love to stay at this location again. The only complaint I have is that the shower is very tiny and weird.

Have stayed here in numerous business trips to NYC, but most recently stayed here for 2.5 weeks while I relocated to NY from overseas and spent time looking for a permanent home.
For anyone looking to stay in Midtown for longer than 2 or 3 nights, I would highly recommend staying here for any long term visits to NY.
Full breakfast is included, as is use of their free laundry facilities.
Rooms have small kitchen facilities perfect for longer term stays.
Rooms are always clean and well serviced, and all housekeeping staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
If only the lifts ran more often — leave yourself an extra 5 minutes in the morning to go downstairs from your room due to the lifts being so busy!!!

The hotel’s breakfast was remarkable, and so was their staff service. The options? Fruits, bagels, sausages, oatmeal, juice, muffins, tea, coffee, scrambled eggs, bacon… If you could think of it they would probably have it.
What I found incredible about this place was the fact that they would offer you paper bags to take your breakfast of choice with you in case you were in a hurry. They even offered you a few cold lunch options for later.

Very clean, well situated, serving complimentary hot breakfast! Could not ask for more. Really happy with my stay here.

1. No update call
I understood early-​checkin was not possible on that time (11am). But one of the staff promised that she would call me when my room is available.
But no one call me until 3:30pm.
I went back to the hotel to see my room is available and the staff gave me a key right away.
Why did not anyone call me?
Why did she asked me to note my number?
2. I kept my several items before check-​in and received my luggage tag. When I check-​in, they could not find my items even though I showed them my tag. One of strange lady asked me who I deliver my items to and where the guy placed my items.
Should I had monitored their work?
In addition, one of guy asked me to look for my items in their storage room. Obviously they did not keep my items properly.
Wasted my time for check-​in because of them.
3. The mattress sheet was very dirty I could tell the sheet was not changed. It was only 1night so slept over the duvet cover instead of asking them to change my sheet because I already tired of their service at that time.

Everyone told me that under $ 200 a night in NYC is a steal! Well… I didn’t get a room at Staybridge for under $ 200 a night, but I searched high and low in different neighborhoods and by searching any bed bug reports and decided on Staybridge. It’s in super touristy but centrally located Times Square. Only a couple blocks from the Port Authority in which we took the NYC Airporter bus to and from La Guardia. Plenty of Duane Reade pharmacies around.
The rooms were bigger than most rooms in the city, at 300 square feet. We booked prior to Staybridge, a room at The Row a couple blocks away, and while it was a lot cheaper; it was also over half the size smaller. And mind you, we both had big luggages as this was the first leg of a 2.5 week trip. So glad we cancelled that reservation!
People at the front were pleasant and accommodated all my wishes (minus being further away from the elevator) and had a box of chocolates and Merlot for our honeymoon upon check in. They also have a happy hour thing on certain nights with some comp food and drinks, and complimentary standard breakfast buffet every morning.
At times there was a little bit of a odd smell in the bathroom but nothing too disturbing. The shower was teeny tiny and made me feel claustrophobic. The elevators were pretty slow too as others mentioned. But the room was clean and pretty quiet. I never had trouble sleeping and we had a decent view as well. And, gotta love the kitchen: fridge, stove, plates and utensils.
Save some money too buy searching for a IHG Friends & Family Code. If you’re looking for a clean (read not on the bed bug registry) centrally located place near theaters in Midtown, public transit (and airport transit) accessible, and steps away from Times Square yet still quiet and not too pricey, then I’d recommend Staybridge Suites Times Square.

Stayed here at the end of April 2015 and stayed on the 9^th floor. We had a room on a higher floor, but it wasn’t ready when we came for early check in. After flying from Vegas, we didn’t want to wait around so we took the first available room on a lower floor.
The room was great looking and the bed was really comfortable. We didn’t use the in suite kitchen, save for the refrigerator & dishwasher. It’s fully stocked with kitchen tools which was nice.
Breakfast AND dinner are provided so we saved a lot of money on meals here. Dinner is different every night and included things like pizza or chef salads. Breakfast was your basic eggs, bacon, french toast etc. The dining room gets PACKED with French tourists (everyone was French.) so either go early or be prepared to eat standing up and to wait for the hot dishes to be replenished. We ended going early and taking our food up to our room.
Unfortunately, the elevators are SLOW. Going any time around meal times means you’ll wait 15+ minutes for one of the two elevators. We ended up just taking the stairs to avoid the wait. In the morning, you can hear a lot of people slamming their room doors, but other than that, it’s quiet.
In general, this hotel is in a fantastic location. Close to Time Square, restaurants, the subway & multiple Duane Reades.

This was a visit that started out on the wrong foot and seemed to just keep stumbling throughout. Upon check in there was no recognition of my Spire elite status, the new higher than platinum status. More frustrating was the fact that there was no recognition of my multiple advance requests and notes for a room with two beds. Later when my platinum friend checked in she was upgraded to the top floor double bedded room, with no prior requests, just for being such a premier guest. When I go down and ask why I wasn’t given such a room based on my requests, I find out that IHG corporate and the hotel don’t communicate so they had no idea about my multiple requests. I get switched to the two bedded room and proceed to move rooms myself.
When I first arrived there was no bell staff assistance, or even available carts to unload the car. Throughout the visit the bell-​staff was present, singing and entertaining, they were entertaining, and I am sure have made many people’s visit enjoyable, but don’t call the harmonizing men with drumsticks and guitars your bell-​staff call them your entertainers.
The rooms were small, it is NYC, but nicely equipped, with full kitchen services, and the internet was fairly quick. The shower was frustrating, by design the shower head resets to a fine mist setting when the shower is turned off, requiring repeated wet adjustments. Additionally I initially thought that getting the correct temperature was a balancing act with the slightest twitch wildly changing the temperature, I later realized that it was actually just a constantly changing temperature without any touching required.
Housekeeping service was disappointing. On the first day they replaced a bath bar of soap and a hand bar of soap with new unopened soaps. We just opened those the day before, really quite wasteful to replace after less than one day. On day two they removed the bath soap, left the hand soap and offered no replacements. No logical procedure I could follow. Additionally on the second day of housekeeping our kitchen sink was clogged, it wasn’t when we left it was when we returned, and there was no note from maintenance. I initially noticed because the sink was caked with dirt and debris as you would see in a slowly draining sink. Debris of things we had not put in the sink. Not good.
There have been many complaints about the lifts. It is a small NYC hotel, there is only so much they can do, and I would guess 10−20% of their floor space is dedicated to the elevators already. While I wouldn’t advise converting one lift to staff only, it is very frustrating when you are waiting to get a lift and one shows up full of on the job staff. I would plan at least 15 minutes for getting out in the morning to start your sightseeing. Oh and one left broke down while I was there, on the lift, dropping half a floor multiple times. That’ll wake you up.
The breakfast was nice enough, but really chaotic, the staff was doing all they could to replace food and keep it clean, it is just a lot of people. They open up the attached bar and sidewalk seating for breakfast in the morning, unfortunately they have no signage or staff in the breakfast area directing you out there.
As an elite member I was given a late checkout ’til 2pm, very nice. I have traveled and worked in the industry long enough I should have known to stop by the desk and ask for my key to be updated after noon on checkout day, but I foolishly didn’t and paid the price having to make a lengthy round trip to the room waiting for lifts both ways. One of the staff members walking the halls was kind enough to let my wife into the room while she waited. There wasn’t any ID verification performed, so while very kind and helpful with a screaming baby, not very secure and sadly often makes for the beginning of a cautionary news story.
When checkout time came around we self-​loaded a cart and headed downstairs and enjoyed the entertainment while waiting to be checked out. One of the desk clerks was nice enough to take my folio while I waited for her to finish with the person in front of me. Unfortunately she checked me out, without letting me update the credit card on file requiring a reversal and reposting.
With all of the neighborhood building and street construction we were pleased when we found a nice large taxi to help us get to the airport. In order to not block all of the traffic behind him he did pull up on the curb to help us load the baggage. This is apparently not good in NYC and all of the staff came out to voice their disapproval, entertainers, front desk staff, even management. They were so busy talking with each other about the ridiculousness of the situation they didn’t have the time to try and guide the driver into a better position or help us load the taxi to leave quicker, just talk and snap photos.

Perfekte Lage (zu Fuß ca 10 Minuten vom Times Square), Zimmer für NY-​Verhältnisse recht groß.
Leider sehr mühsam die Lifte — nur 3 für 33 Stockwerke, man wartet teilweise sehr lange.
Das Frühstück ist zwar inklusive, aber nicht spektakulär, bei vollem Haus gibt’s auch leichte Platzprobleme in der Früh.

One of our friends had stayed here last year and told us how much he liked it so we decided to stay here during our time in the city. I’m a little tired from all the walking we did so I will just cut to the chase and list my Pros and Cons.
Cons:
— Sometimes the elevators take forever. My suggestion for those who stay on lower floors who are able to walk, that they take the stairs as it will be a lot faster than waiting for the elevator. If you do take the stairs, take the B stairs as it will take you to the lobby while the A stairs takes you to the lower lobby.
— The maids would come into our room even though we had the do not disturb sign hanging outside.
— Closet space is kind of small. Not enough room to hang my wife and my clothes.
— Rooms on the lower floors might be a little noisy at times. (we had a room on a lower floor but paid to upgrade to a higher floor. Yes it was worth it)
Pro:
— Happy Hour. Yes I said it, they have a cool happy hour. It is from Tuesday — Thursday from 5−7pm. The food changes from day to day. It varied from nachos, hotdogs, pita and humas with a salad bar. They even had an open bar of Stella and Bud Light on tap with red and white wine. They also had coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soda and water.
— Complimentary breakfast from 6:30−10am daily. Things from scrambled eggs, egg whites, (meat changed daily from sausage links, sausage patty, turkey bacon, etc.) to your traditional cereal, toast, bagels, oatmeal etc. Yes there is coffee to help you start your day.
— 24 hour workout room for those that need to get their fitness on.
— Free Wifi.
— Laundry room that is open 24 hours. Only downside is that you are sharing it with the rest of the guests in the hotel. Personally I would keep an eye on my clothes. Sorry I’m just a little paranoid someone might borrow some of my stuff.
— This hotel is close to Times Square. Walking distance to Times Square, Theater District. — — Subway entrances is close by as well.
— It is right next to the Port Authority. This is a major plus if you are seeing a game like we did. We caught the bus that took us right to the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey to see the football game. It was so fast and easy.
— Most of the staff was nice and friendly. Yes there was some that was curt with me but for the most part they were very informative and helpful.
— Kitchenette was nice to have.
— They have a pantry for all your needs from snacks to aspirin. It is located on the side of the check in desk.
— Nice and comfy beds, room size is on the bigger side compared to other NYC hotels.

Our 4 day stay started out horrific, but the staff corrected our issues the next day. We came in late, so we were given the worst room you can get in this hotel… lowest floor in between all 3 elevators with a horrible view of a building with garbage. When we went to take a shower the full size tub was cool for NYC, but there was no shower curtain. To make matters worse the phone rang once around 1:30 am, so between that and the elevators as a light sleeper I started the next day extremely tired. The next day I called the front desk and they said they would move me to a much better room and all we had to do was ensure our bags were packed. We came back that night to a room on the 26^th floor with a view of the Empire State Building to the left and a slight view of the Hudson River to the right. There was also Belgian chocolates and a small bottle of Merlot with an apology for the inconvenience!
So with this hotel you are really paying for location. It’s located in Hell’s Kitchen on 40^th ave between 8^th and 9^th st. Plenty of places to grab a bite and shopping is all over the place. Only a few blocks from the Javits Convention Center, which was the reason for my stay… and a few blocks from Times Square, Broadway and penn station.
As for the comfort: the room has a full size refrigerator, microwave, kitchen sink and a cooktop that you must ask to have turned in if you plan on using it. The closet is tiny, which is expected in Manhattan. The shower in the rooms are extremely small so I recommend staying in the room in between the elevators if you require more space in the shower because it has a full tub… just be sure there’s a shower curtain in place. The bed is extremely comfortable.
All staybridge hotels have a complimentary breakfast. I’ve had a much better breakfast at a staybridge in Miami, but this wasn’t bad.
Not a bad stay for NYC especially if you need the kitchen.

Meine Pluspunkte :
Gute Erreichbarkeit — von JFK mit der Subway, von Newark mit dem Bus (Central Bus Station direkt gegenüber). Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber (Ausnahme: Gardinen). USA-​typische Betten, ich finde die Matrazen herrlich bequem. Naßzelle: 3+ bis 2– teilweise sogar mit Badewanne. Kitchenette: komplett ausgestattet mit 2 Plattenherd, großem Kühlschrank, ungewohnt großem Tiefkühlfach mit Eiswürfelbereiter, Mikrowelle, Dunstabzugshaube Kaffeemaschine und Spülmaschine. Achtung! Nichts für umweltbewußte Germans! Wenn ich (bedingt durch das incl. Frühstück) nur die Kaffeemaschine benutzt habe war JEDEN!!! abend die Kaffeekanne, der Kaffeefilter und die Tasse gespült in der Spülmaschine wiederzufinden — ein Spülgang für 3 Teile — und das wirklich jeden Tag. Nach dem fünften Tag habe ich einfach das «Do not disturb» Schild rausgehängt. Amerikatypisch natürlich ein Bügelbrett, flatirons gibt es an der Reception. Gute aber laute Klimaanlage, sehr wichtig in NYC im Sommer.
Nachteile: aus den unteren Etagen, insbesondere nach «hinten raus»
entsetzlicher Ausblick. Knappes Sitzplatzangebot im Frühstücksraum, auch hier gilt: viel Plastik z.B.: Obstsalatverpackung. Am nervigsten: 3 (drei !) Aufzüge für 32 Stockwerke. mit manchmal lächerlich langen Wartezeiten. Aus diesem Grunde bevorzuge ich, trotz der scheusslichen Aussicht Ebene 2 !
Für Frischluftfans: die Fenster lassen sich nur knapp zu einem Drittel öffnen und «nach hinten raus» typisch stickige Hinterhofluft.
Trotz alledem das Hotel meiner Wahl in NYC ! ! !

The hotel offers quite a bit but it’s no huge bargain either so I figured for the price its an average experience.
The pros —
Decent sized room for NYC
Kitchenette
Clean
Breakfast offers a great selection
Pantry for convenience items and snacks
Free wifi w no password
The cons —
(make your own judgments as I know most of these are aesthetic and I can be picky)
The elevators are awful. Always waiting and always crowded. There are technically 3 lifts but since the one to the left is on the other side of the path I think most people don’t even see it.
Overall design in rooms and hallways is not modern. They’re clean but not cool. The hallways look like they converted an old apartment.
It’s damn LOUD in the hallways! Everything can be heard including the constant SLAMMING of the doors as they close when housekeeping is making their rounds
The closets are a joke. Basically a foot long closet rack sticking toward you. For a hotel that offers a kitchenette and laundry that would seemingly encourage longer stay guests you should have a proper closet for hanging wardrobe. UPDATE: apparently some other closets have a proper left to right wardrobe bar since I saw one in another room, but since this was denied by the front desk clerk when I inquired I am now even more annoyed.
They have a great AV plug in by the desk and TV but not an outlet near the bed or nightstand.
Not a fan of the iPad «business center» — there’s just some things you need to do on a proper laptop
Basic amenities and no bathtub

Very clean room room, good design, nice office furniture. Appreciated the quality office chair for working. Having a kitchenette is a real luxury when you’re on the road all the time. My biggest issue was the combo of the mattress and the pillows. The mattress was very firm, as were the pillows. All pillows were of equal firmness (VERY firm) and quite thick. Some hotels provide pillows of varying firmness/​softness levels, which I think is very smart. I ended up not using the pillows here at all because even just one under my head ended up hurting my neck and back – enough that I kept waking up and having to adjust. I’m not young, but neither am I old and I was hobbling to the office the next day.
The room was relatively cheap, else this would be a much lower rating because the bedding is the most important part of a hotel room. If those things were fixed, this place would be 4.5 stars. (Lots of noise from the Port Authority, but hey, also very convenient! Ear plugs are your friend in NYC.) Their breakfast buffet is quite decent, but the elevators are slow enough that you’ll want to take the stairs regardless if you’re not staying on a top floor.

I think this place has potential to be a phenomenal hotel.
It seems that a good amount of reviewers had a stellar experience but my stay was a series of unfortunate events.
The first night I was exhausted from traveling and working. I was also really looking forward to taking a shower. I stepped inside and was enjoying washing up until… I saw that there were long hairs on the shower’s tile wall and what appeared to be a massive booger!!! Keep in mind that I can’t see well without my glasses and had no way of seeing this until it was too late. Needless to say my shower was ruined. I do have photographic evidence as disgusting as that may be.
Next issue… At 2:44 am on a Sunday, 2 men were talking obnoxiously loud in the hall. They were so loud that they woke me up and most likely every body else on the floor. Talk about being incredibly inconsiderate to those of us sleeping and have to go to work in the morning! When the guys still weren’t using «inside voices» I finally opened my door and asked them to be please be quiet. As soon as I closed my door, one of them called me a bitch. I couldn’t even stickup for myself because as soon as I went to open my door again the elevator opened and they left.
So… After the loud a-​hole experience, it took me quite sometime to fall back asleep. When I’m finally back to a nice slumber, the refrigerator in my room started making a loud ticking noise… Like a clock! Think about Captain Hook being tormented by clocks… That’s how I felt. It was too loud and repetitive to sleep, so I called the front desk for some help. The lady sent the engineer to check on it. All the engineer said he could do was unplug my refrigerator… I had food that would spoil without refrigeration, so I had to go out and buy earplugs. Seriously!
Last issue… I always keep the do not disturb sign on the door. I want the hotel room to feel as homey as possible during my stay and I enjoy my privacy. Wouldn’t you know it? I come back after a long day of hard work to see that my sign is gone. No sign means people entered my room, took away the homey feel, and invaded my privacy.
I definitely had issues with my stay here but there are positives to this place. Most of the staff are friendly and do a good job. The hotel room itself and quite nice and reasonably priced for New York. The breakfast is also way above average compared to other places.
I would definitely stay here again, but I would hope for a better experience.

We were here the weekend after New Year’s so it was pretty hectic. The lobby is small so it is claustrophobic inside. They are in the middle of doing some renovations, so breakfast was a bit of a mess, and the elevators were impossible to use during checkout time (constantly full and stopping on every floor). My complaints end here. These are minor inconveniences for an awesome room in an awesome location for an awesome price. Yes, that much awesome.
The bed was so comfortable. The décor was really nice and calming. Everything was CLEAN and FRESH looking. I love hotel rooms that are suites so you can prepare some of your own meals/​keep leftovers to save money. AND FREE BREAKFAST!!! Yes. Yes. Yes. The only complaint about the room is that the shower was really tiny, but it’s NYC, and you have a kitchen in there, what can you do? It was fine.
The location cannot be beaten for the price. The street itself is a little dingy, but it’s busy so you don’t feel unsafe even at midnight, and the subway is close and Times Square is right down the street. If you are coming in on a bus, this is the spot. The Port Authority bus terminal is LITERALLY right outside the hotel. Seriously, just jaywalk yourself across one lane of slow-​moving traffic and you’re there. Excellent. Easy walk (or one subway stop) from Penn Station as well. We will definitely stay here again.

Stayed here Dec 2014 for 5 nights.
Room was a decent size for two people.
The biggest problem was the lack of closet space for jackets, suits & shirts. Far too small for 2 people staying 5 nights. Wall hooks along the entry way would help alleviate this shortcoming.
The bathroom was smallish, but laid out well. Limited counter space.
Our biggest concern was the elevators, after having read so many negative things about them. They were nowhere near as bad as has been portrayed. Our longest wait was about 5 minutes. The majority of times, 1 – 3 minutes. Now more often than not they were very full, but they were quick.
The kitchen was great. Full size fridge, adequate facilities for reheating leftovers (if you want).
The location was outstanding. With an subway pass we could get to Broadway and 42^nd underground, with only the first 45 seconds being above (while we travelled into the PABT).
No problems with the «seedy» porn joints and parole office mentioned in other reviews.
Jamie gave some outstanding help moving our luggage down the last day. Parking cost me about $ 32 a day up on 43^rd (a 5 minute walk).
Good food around here. Would definetly stay again. Be aware that a garbage can is left on each floor. It was in front of our door 3 of 5 nights.

I was very pleasantly impressed with this place! I was in the area for a tradeshow at the Javits, and have stayed in several hotels in this neighborhood. The Staybridge definitely isn’t fancy/​swanky, and has more of a budget/​extended-​stay vibe, but that just means more spare cash for food and fun.
Lobby: Definitely the biggest con is that this place is crazy crowded. The check-​in front desk is right at the entrance, meaning that during peak times, it’s almost impossible to get in and out. There are dining areas and a bar within the first floor area, but those are always very crowded as well. Don’t bother trying to get seats for more than 2 people during mealtimes and happy hour.
On that note, though, the Staybridge offers free happy hour every day from 5 – 7. House white, house red, and [legit] beer on tap, plus water, juices, etc. along with a generous variety of different hors d’oeuvres every day. The food isn’t that great, but it’s passable and is very nice if you need a snack between lunch and fancy dinner later in the evening. Remember: Lobby/​dining room. Crowded. Grab your drinks/​snacks and skedaddle upstairs if you want quiet. Or stay if you want: There’s free wifi, albeit fairly spotty service. I’ll rate this as «passable» as well, although I definitely complaint free spotty wifi far less than I complain about paid spotty wifi.
If you really like the dining area, come down in the morning for the free continental breakfast buffet. Again, nothing spectacular but everything is farm, you can help yourself to as much as you want, and the drinks are all there — milk, tea, coffee, water, and a variety of fruit juices. Just remember you’re saving your pennies for the things you *really* want to eat, many of which aren’t going to be available until 11 a.m. anyway.
The rooms: Each room has a full-​sized fridge (!!) as well as a kitchen sink. I want to say that there’s even a hotplate or small burner in the rooms as well, but maybe I’m making that up (definitely call and ask if this matters to you). There were two queen-​sized beds in my room, each with at least 4 pillows, and a small note on the beds that said more were stored in my closet if I wanted them. Very adequate and thoughtful storage; large desk; well-​lit; great bathroom with very hot, strong water stream in the shower, and a magnifying makeup mirror. The view was nothing to write home about, but this area just isn’t that visually exciting in the first place. Honestly, I really enjoyed my room and slept really well at night — particularly impressive given the fact that I didn’t get much sleep due to working hard and late. Sound disturbance from my neighbors was absolutely nil.
I happen to know our conference discount rate for the room was $ 169/​night.
If I had to stay in this area on a personal visit, I’d definitely plunk for the Staybridge over any other Times Square-​region hotel. Best bang for my buck, by far! (In contrast, I stayed at two «trendier» hotels the last two times I visited, both much closer to the $ 300/​night mark. Both times, portions of the hotel were being renovated so elevators were out of commission or scaffolding distracted from the exterior, etc. and people shambled about EVERYWHERE.)

Wir waren 1 Woche im Staybridge.
Plus:
— sehr zentral (5 Min zu Fuß und man ist am Times Square)
— sehr sauber
— sehr freundliches Personal
— zweckdienliche Zimmer
— sehr ruhige Zimmer bei geschlossenem Fenster
Minus:
— sehr runtergekühlter Frühstücksraum
— sehr wenige, ausreichende Sitzmöglichkeiten zu Frühstückszeiten: d.h. sind die Tische beim Bueffet besetzt musste man in den nächsten Loungebereich ausweichen, dort — sehr tiefe Sitze und sehr niedrige Tische, man saß immer sehr gebückt beim essen
— nur amerikanisches Frühstück bei internationalen Gästen (nach einer Woche wollte ich dann keine Bagels oder gestrecktes Rührei mehr sehen)
— nach unserem Geschmack: zu weiche Matratzen
Sehr zu empfehlen.

No he estado en otro hotel en Nueva York, pero desde luego este ha sido fantástico.
Es un hotel nuevo, y además está muy céntrico, con Times Square a unos cinco minutos. Desde qué llegamos ya notamos que el personal era muy agradable y cercano, hasta al final te llegabas a hacer «amigo» de alguno. Las habitaciones estaban genial. Amplias suficientemente, con cocina y algunos ‘cacharros’ para cocinar en caso de necesidad (nevera y microondas incluido). Las camas fueron las más cómodas en las que yo he dormido en mi vida.
Tienen también, en las mesillas, una Radio/​Despertador con conexión para el iPhone/​iPad, lo cual se hace muy cómodo para cargar tu teléfono en él, o incluso para ponerte un poco de música en la habitación para relajar después de un largo día de caminata por la Gran Manzana. El edificio además cuenta con Wi-​Fi en toda su instalación, y una sala de informática (en caso de necesidad). La habitación cuenta también con un televisor de gran tamaño (nunca está de más).
Respecto al baño de la habitación, ningún problema. Amplio, con secador, limpio. Perfecto, como si estuvieras en tu casa.
En cuanto al desayuno, ningún problema, creo que había suficiente variedad y cantidad. No creo que haya muchos problemas con él. De hecho, muchas veces cogíamos algún yogurt (o algo semejante) y lo dejábamos en la nevera de la habitación por si se necesitaba al final del día. Además hacia mitad de la tarde hacían una especie de merienda con galletas y bebida a la que podía acceder sino me equivoco cualquier persona con reserva en el hotel.
La única queja del hotel era el tiempo que tenías que estar esperando por el ascensor, aunque supongo que éste sea un problema generalizado en la gran mayoría de los hoteles de NYC debido al gran número de plantas y la afluencia de gente.

hatte 4 Super Nächte in diesem Hotel… genug zum Frühstück (Amerikanisch halt) gab es auch… nettes Personal, Preis auch ok, Zimmer TOP…
nur zu empfehlen für einen schönen Städtetrip mit niveau…
