OYO Times Square

Pleasantly surprised after reading negative reviews. Clean and comfortable. I was concerned about this hotel after booking it and reading many negative reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel itself is an amazing location right at Times Square and we were able to access all parts of the city easily. Check in and out were quick and easy. On check in, we were advised that there was water maintenance and that there would be no water for a few hours (we did have enough in the tap to wash our hands though). We appreciated the communication and we weren’t too concerned since we didn’t plan to spend much time in the room anyway. By the time we were winding down for bed around 11, the issue was resolved. The room itself was clean and was cleaned every day. The cleaning staff were helpful and kind. The A/C worked well and our room was cold at all times. There was some noise from the street but I thought it was relatively quiet given the location. If you don’t want any street noise, maybe don’t book a Times Square hotel. The bed did squeak a bit but it didn’t bother me or my husband- if you move around a lot it might. Otherwise I think the metal framed bed was a smart choice for the space because we could store our suitcases underneath. I thought the room was plenty big enough- we could move around and had room on either side of the bed. Again, it’s a relatively budget hotel in the busiest part of New York- small is to be expected when booking. We would honestly consider booking again and found the entire experience to be quite comfortable. I would say, set your expectations fairly - yes it’s relatively expensive, but that’s New York. If you care about location and want to spend less than some of the other hotels in the area, I’d say go for it.
