“A Nice property in a colorful neighborhood”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

I was not looking forward to staying here, I usually like a little more high end properties and like to stay downtown. But the prices that week in the city were absurd and I basically had no choice. I was also a little worried about the reviews I had read.
To start- the front desk staff was outstanding. Very curteous, friendly, super nice, I can't say enough. Check in was no problem and whenever I needed anything, they were helpful. Bell staff the same, super friendly and helpful. Great job.

The room- it was on the small side, but totally fine and functional. I had no view, but honestly, I left for work early and was back late, never had a chance to care. The bed was fine, a little hard, pillows were good. Starbucks coffee in the room, flat screen TV, free internet access. The shower was great! Also, being off the street was good, no street noise and I slept very well.
I didn't eat the free breakfast, just grabbed some coffee, so can't comment on that, but it looked like plenty of folks were taking advantage of it. Never made it up to the sky bar, wish I did.

The area is a little sketchy, even for me. I used to live in the city and know it well. But there are peep show places, adult video stores on the block as you walk towards 8th ave as well as a parole office. The bus station brings all sorts in the area anyway. With that said, no problems, no one hassled and I didn't see anything worrisome. It's the real NY, gritty and kind of cool. Once you cross over 8th ave, it's Timesquare area. There are loads and loads of restaurants on 9th ave, so you'll never be short on that. The subway is up the block on 8th ave, very convenient.

All in all it was much better than I expected. I would choose it again and be just fine with it. I'm just not a big fan of midtown. Thanks for a really nice stay!

Room Tip: Call ahead and ask for a high floor.

Our thanks to you for taking the time in writing about our hotel and your experiences while staying with us. Our staff takes great pleasure in all that they do for our guests and it shows through your comments. The location is truly fantastic. Unfortunately the stores that you were talking about have been here years before we got to this area and we are making every effort in trying to move them away from this block. A lot of changes have already been made over the last 4 years which has made this street so much more appealing.

“Good location, tiny tiny rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

There are only 4 suites at this entire hotel so the name is misleading. The location is great, the hotel rooms are not. We moved after one night to the Ritz at Battery Park.

There is one ice maker for the entire hotel and it is on the basement level.

Breakfast is included and was decent but crowded.

Location is good for shopping.

We would like to thank you for reviewing our hotel and your recent stay with us. I was upset to learn that you were not happy with your room which are standard size for New York City. Yes, you are absolutely right about the ice machine. We are in the process of coming up with a solution which would actually include the staff delivering ice to your room when requested. We are truly very well located; close to shopping, fantastic restaurants and public transportation. When in town again we would insist that you try us again and stay in one of our suites. You may contact me directly for this pupose at 646-666-4600.
Happy Holidays!

“Not in a good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

When they advertise this as Time Square they are so kidding. As stated in other reviews, this hotel is not in the best section of town with the Parole Board and bus station within a block.

We also ordered a car from the hotel to pick us up at the airport @ 5:30AM. We waited for a least 1/2 hour and no car. I called the hotel and was given the number of the car service to take care of it myself. When I called the car service they said they had never received the order. We took a cab and saved $40. When we got to the hotel Jason the bell person was very apologetic and said the car went to the wrong airport , really? He did offer to have extra Marriott points added to my account for the inconvience but I have yet to see them on my statement.

The only good thing I can say about this stay is Yvette the Breakfast ambassador was extremely helpful and always had a smile on her face!

“More High Points than Low”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Location: HIGH POINT: great location with respect to subway access and walking distance to theaters; Low Point: On noisy, fume-filled street next to the bus terminal and abutting a Parole Office and a porn shop.
Amenities: HIGH POINT: Great complimentary hot breakfast; LOW POINT: Dicey, expensive rooftop bar with partygoers lined up in the street to get in. Bouncers--really?? At a Marriott??

Room: HIGH POINT: Comfortable, if somewhat small, for two. Nicely decorated, new bathroom, great view from the 25th floor; LOW POINT: Dresser drawers almost impossible for one person to open, with miniscule pull and what felt like strong magnets holding them closed.

Service: We experienced no problems with our reservation or service and found the staff friendly and helpful.

Value: Good value for adults who don't plan to spend much time in the room. Not sure I would want my kids going through the lobby when the nightclub crowd is there in full force.

Room Tip: Only 6 rooms per floor, so not a lot of traffic or noise in the hall. High rooms on the north side...

We truly appreciate your review and sharing with us the highs and lows of your stay with us. We will check into the dresser problem, but would love to learn which room you were in because we don't really have any issues with the other dressers. If you have some time in the future, would you be able to call me back so that I can address this problem. Sorry about the Sky Room entrance that did not seem very appealing. We have security at the doors for the safety of all of our patrons and guests. That is why there is a seperate entrance for the bar patrons. When in town again we look forward in welcoming you back to the Fairfield Inn & Suites Times Square.

“Poor Guest Service and Scary Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

First I would like to say that this hotel is right beside the NY Board of Parole, which had a long line of paroles lined up down the street on certain days of the week, and also beside a xxx store, and across the street from the scary Port Authority. Though I had no problems out of people on the street, I had many problems with the front desk personnel. They, on 3 occasions, denied that I had called ahead and reserved a car service (after waiting about an hour for one to show first) and the people I had requested the car from call me a liar and say they've never seen me, then ended up charging my credit card for the room when my husband went through the trouble of faxing in the form they sent so they could charge it to a different card. Very disorganized, rude, and poor location. Stay somewhere else.

Let me begin by apologizing that this stay was not all that you hoped it would be. I would also like to apologize with the miscommunication with regards to the car service. Please rest assured that I have addressed these issues with my staff and can assure that what occured was the exception and not the rule.
