The price and lack of amenities make this room hard for me to recommend highly. It is a nice room. It is clean and has a decent amount of room to move about. The sofabed is okay but not that great. The hotel gives out free cookies after lunch. It has wifi but not in the room. If you want it in the room it is 12.00 a day. They don't have a complimentary breakfast but Mcdonalds is two stores down. Around the corner is a little shop that does wonderful breakfast sandwiches fresh. It isn't crowded or expensive. (when coming out of the hotel make a right around the corner and go about 500 yards.) My family loved the breakfasts from there. The hotel's location is excellent and right in the middle of Times Square.

This was our first stay at a Doubletree Hotel and it exceeded our expectations. We debarked from our cruise on Monday morning at 10am, and the hotel was a mere 8 miles from the Manhattan cruise terminal. Since we were early and we didn't call for early check in we had a little wait. As soon as a room was available we were speedily checked in. Ami at the front desk was very professional and courteous. We were offered complimentary breakfast for 2 for the duration of our stay, which we did not expect, but a great bonus nonetheless. Breakfast was good with a decent selection. The pastries were delicious! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable enough for 4 people. Housekeeping did a great job and there were always enough towels. There is a separate vanity/Kitchenette with coffee/tea maker and refridgerator and microwave and wetbar. The sitting area has a pullout bed, separate flat panel TV and desk.
We did a city tour through Grayline Tours, and got our tickets in the hotel. The downtown tour buses pickup are very near the hotel, the uptown buses are about 1 block away (not too far). As for restuarants we ate at the Olive Garden which is in Times Square just opposite the hotel. This was the fastest sit down service we ever got!! The street vendors also sell good food at good prices and portions are large enough for two. One particular vendor sold Lebanese food on 42nd and 7th street, south of Broadway. Since it can rain at any time, its a good idea to have a poncho or umbrella handy. We did a lot of walking so comfortable shoes and a bottle of water were a must. Even if there are no kids in your party go and see the Toys R Us store.
We had a great stay in New York City and we will definitely be staying at this hotel again when we plan our next visit to the big apple.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was huge, with a bedroom and separate living area. Unfortunately it was RIGHT next ot the lifts (our door looked like one of the lifts). This wasn't a big deal though as you couldn't hear the lifts at all from the room. However the room became a problem when it started to stink of cigarette or cigar when we arrived back one night. This happened to us at two hotels in the US, what's that about !? We told reception and they acted shocked and gave us the key to another room, on the corner of the building which had a much nicer layout and therefore seemed even bigger. But when we went into the bedroom area the window was open and there was a packet of cigarettes on the windowsill, and someone had had a little lie down in the bed ! Back we went to reception where again, they were shocked. It was getting old at this point so we said they need to go and inspect the room before they give us the next key, which they did. We got another corner room on a higher floor which was perfect.

The rooms have a kitchenette which was really useful, and the location is great you look down over times square (you can't hear anything though so you don't experience the downside of the location!).

If we were to return though we would probably not stay in times square because its so busy and you get a bit sick of the salesmen all over the street.

Stayed here for 4 nights with girlfriends and we had no complaints. I recommend this hotel to anyone. Hotel is in the center of Times Square which made our stay even better. I definetly would stay here again. The room size was perfect. Beds very comfortable. Nice bathroom size. Thumbs up for Doubletree Times Square Suites.
