The place to stay in Times Square
I have enjoyed several stays at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square during different times of the years. Its predictably very good. I suggest staying at an upper-level floor as the noise from the courtyard can be a bit annoying. Rooms are clean, room service is thorough, and front desk staff is helpful. Siting in the middle of Times Square there are hundreds of options for restaurants, clubs, entertainment, and shopping. I love listening to the sound of the city thirty stories below just before sun up. New York at its best.
