I'm impressed by reports of staff attentiveness, particularly given the challenges of a busy Midtown property.

The Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central stands out for its prime location, a short walk from Times Square, Penn Station, and the Empire State Building, with convenient subway access. Guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some featuring microwaves and refrigerators, and many enjoy the views from the higher floors.

the staff was warm and helpful. michelle at the front desk gave us assistance with anything we asked. the food and drinks at the onsite restaurant were good. all staff we encountered were very nice.
the rooms were too small for 3 people. we were on top of each other and the bathroom was tiny with peeling wallpaper! the conditioner was empty for 2 days. the breakfast cost was $26 and not worth it
