Editorial review from Citysearch 4/26/2015

We have stayed at this property several times over the years and it always delivers! The people that work here do a terrific job and really make you feel valued as a guest and go the extra mile! One young lady in particular that I want to call out at the front is named Fleridana and she is a pleasure to deal with! She knew that my wife and I were celebrating an anniversary and recognized my Platinum Premier Status and upgraded our room to a Junior suite and the front office Mgr then sent up Champagne and strawberries and a nice note congratulating us on our special day! This is a group of people that go the extra mile! Stay here - You will love this place and the team! more

Great hotel, great service, great location! 1/19/2009

This was a fantastic experience for my wife and I. We stayed a couple of nights for our anniversary and had a great time. The hotel is beautiful with excellent rooms, very spacious. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom has a large shower, no tub, that was perfect for showering for two. The soaps and stuff were top notch. We pulled up in front of the hotel and located the doorman who took our keys and arranged for valet parking. You go inside a small lobby area and take an elevator up one story to the hotel lobby where you check in. A little inconvenient to have to change elevators to get to your room, but as someone pointed out it makes an excellent security system and is worth the minor trouble. Pros: service, location, rooms more

this is what i am talking about 6/23/2008

love it, love it, love it.....what more can i say. we were a bachelorette party that stayed there, ages ranged from 23-28. We loved the whole decor and the location. Eric, the concierge was the greatest person. He will help you out with anything that you need. I t was my first time in New York, so you know I needed much help and he was there for me. He helped me even before I checked in the hotel, I would call him asking all types of questions. Love you Eric. Pros: decor and Eric Cons: price and made you pay for wifi more

Overall great 11/25/2007

One of my favorite hotels in New York. Located in Times Square, the Renaissance is walking distance to theatres, restaurant row and many other central Manhattan destinations. The restaurant is THE prime location for taking in New Years. Little pricey, but you get what you pay for. more

A Nightmare 8/7/2007

This is a terrible hotel. Let's begin with the lobby. Oh, wait. There isn't one. You enter from 7th Avenue into a dank box with two rickety elevators that take you to the third floor, where you find... another dank box. This one has a tiny bar and several temporary desks. A video projector blinds you as you exit the elevator, projecting meaningless sperm-like squiggles in a possible attempt to distract you from the disgusting space. Following a twisting passageway, you arrive at three elevators. Two and a half, actually, as one of them was used primarily to trap guests throughout our stay - to the point that hotel employees - ever helpful - joked about it. Once you arrive in your room, the space is actually fairly nice, if somewhat dirty. As I type this I literally cannot converse with others in my room, because of the 'minor' construction noise that begins on the floor above at 7am every day. The location is great, right in the middle of Times Square. But don't expect a view - the side of the hotel that would have one is blocked by that giant Coca Cola sign. There is a view of one thing, though - the four other hotels you should have stayed at: the Sheraton, the W, the Westin and the Marriott Marquis. Pros: In the middle of Times Square Cons: Horrible facility more

Wonderful Hotel and Excellant location 3/8/2006

What an incredible choice for our first visit to NYC. the location was unsurpassed. The hotel was everything we could have asked for; excellant concerige services, equaled by the bell captains, the restaurant wait staff. the size and comfort of the bathtub was perfect for tired muscles. We spent most of the day out on the town, what a wonderful place to retire to and recover for the next adventure. We plan to return within the next six months and intend to stay here again. Houseleeping worked around our schedule! Pros: Very reasonable, Awesome staff, beautiful facility Cons: theromstat touchy more

exceptional! 5/24/2004

I got this hotel through a name your own price website, checked in around 11pm and was out by 7am (didn't visit the bar or restaurant), so I wasn't there long, however, I was thoroughly impressed with the room during my brief stay. Pros: clean, nice furnishings, big, modern bathroom more

Shockingly bad. 8/18/2003

The Beverly Hills and London Renaissance hotels are great. This one stinks. Our room was not ready until 3 in the afternoon -- though we did see dozens of others -- who came AFTER us -- go straight to their rooms. The clerk was unprofessional, giggly, distracted. Entered the wrong exp. date on my card -- then acted like it was MY bad credit that had caused the card to be declined. No, girlie: YOUR mistake. Made many other mistakes with our reservation (very confused about checkout date, no matter how many times we reminded them.) Wine at the hotel restaurant: literally undrinkable. Cons: unprofessional, bad restaurant, confusion, errors more

Great View of Time Square 12/3/2002

This hotel was absolutely wonderful. The view was enchanting. The staff is very efficient and professional. It is also in walking distance to most everything in Time Square. If you stay you really should check out the veiw from Foley's (the restuarant right outside of the main lobby). Pros: view, location, excellent staff more
