A hotel worth experiencing
This is obviously one of Marriott's flagship properties, and it's clear that Marriott takes steps to make sure it offers a good experience. The staff is polished, and the service is excellent, even for a large property with lots of turnover. The amenities are top-notch, including the revolving restaurant overlooking Times Square, the well-equipped workout room with a city view, the concierge lounge, and the lobby. Even the elevator system is cutting edge. The location is great. There are plenty of less expensive options, including a nice Courtyard near Port Authority a few blocks away. However, unless you're just looking for a place to sleep, the experience is worth the extra money.
