Wonderful Stay -- Will Return Again
Stayed here for "ladies trip" October 11th thru October 16th. One of our group had not been to NYC since she was 9 years old -- so it was fun to see NYC thru her eyes. The location of the Marriott Marquis could not be better. All of the "hustle-bustle" of Times Square is right outside the door. The entrances to the subway (uptown or downtown) are close by. We were within walking distance to the musicals we had tickets for.
We loved the hotel. The room was spacious (plenty of space for luggage and shoppin bags), and very clean. The "double" has two double beds and a pull-out sofa, so plenty of space for sleeping! Towels and shampoos, etc. were ample. Elevators are prompt, and there are many of them so no waiting even at busy check-in/check-out and dinner or theater times. It appears that some people have difficulty figuring out that the elevators will go all the way from the first floor to your floor level so no need to stop at floor 8 each time.
Junior's is across the street if the Marquis Breakfast Buffet is more than you want. The View Lounge has a good pre-theater buffet, and the Sunday Brunch Buffet is even better. Pricey -- but the view is worth it. (And what isn't pricey is NYC?) The lobby bar is also convenient, as is Starbucks on the first floor. Sophia's across the way from the Marquis is also a good italian restaurant (Although recent reviews have complained about the waiters, we had no problem and the dinners at Sophia's were good).
Will definitely stay here again.
