Excellent Oasis in Busy Mid-Town
My daughter and I selected the Marriott Marquis as our headquarters for a three-night NYC theater tour this summer and were very pleased with our choice. Despite the crowds, the wait for check-in was no more than five minutes. Check-in itself took even less time, and the friendly desk agent gave us a very quiet and comfortable room on the 41st floor. The new elevator system worked well, although if one is afraid of heights, riding the glass elevators to a high floor is reminiscent of "The Tower of Terror" in Disney World. That said, we liked being away from all of the street noise and chaos of the theater district, but within a few minutes' walk from the theaters and restaurants. We did not eat in the hotel, but all of the staff that we encountered could not have been more friendly and helpful. On our last day, luggage storage and delivery was handled well. We look forward to returning to this property and recommend it highly.
