Great Property in Congested Times Square
If you have to be in TSq, this hotel should suit you well. I'm a fan and rewards member of Marriott so I'm a little biased. It's not cheap unless you can score a great deal, but for the price you get convenience, great service and the rooms, for NYC, are spacious. The elevators take a little getting used to, but you'll probably here 3 different languages each time you ride. It's like the UN of Times Square hotels. On the other hand, if it's a small, artsy, boutique place you're looking for then this is NOT for you. 
We didn't dine or shop at any of the hotel restaurants or lounges - too busy taking in the sites. there are hundreds of good places within blocks...
Check out "Pie face' for a quick lunch if you don't mind standing and scarfing something down. Trip Advisor doesn't have them listed yet.
Enjoy!
