Quiet Rooms in Times Square
Sure. The title of this review almost seems like a mistake - "quiet" and "Times Square" just don't seem to fit. But, it's true. I made this reservation with trepidation. I usually like staying in NYC in the Chelsea or Tribeca neighborhoods - quieter, scores of small, quaint restaurants and wine bars and typically cheaper than crazy Times Square. But I had a conference in Times Square to attend and the hotel rate was relatively cheap by New York standards. 
On the street level, the noise, crowds, in-your-face hawkers and garish signage were more over the top than I had remembered. There is only a modest front entrance to the Hilton on 42nd Street (I walked right by it the first time) and an elevator that takes you up directly to the 23rd (or maybe the 24th) floor to the hotel lobby. All the hotel rooms are from that floor up to the 44th floor. Street noise is far below; it was very quiet. As others have mentioned, the room sizes are actually quite large for NYC and the furniture seems newer and very functional. Comfy bed, flat screen TV, good lighting, and effective drapes to protect you from the 24 hour bright lights of Times Square. The bathroom was small in size, but there was plenty of counter space and the shower was great too. The breakfast buffet was better than most hotel buffets. Bottom line - if you want a central NYC location, will be attending Broadway plays, or just like the craziness of Times Square - the Hilton Times Square is a solid choice. It certainly exceeded my expectations.
