Hotels near Samuel N. Bennerson 2nd Playground in New York

The location of the hotel is convenient. I also booked it for a friend. The whole process went smoothly. My friend reported that the stay was very good. The service of the hotel is fine. I hope that I can stay here when I go by myself in the future.

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

The location of the hotel is convenient, and the front desk staff is friendly. It would be better if it can be cleaned every day. The hotel's breakfast is quite rich, but the room is a bit small, and two suitcases cannot be opened. nice gym

This is a perfect location across from City Center and perfectly located to walk around the Broadway area; simply elegant for a fair price. I’ve stayed here before and look forward to coming again. This Isa perfect for a more extended stay - comfortable with a fridge & microwave.

The rooms are super clean, but unfortunately extremely loud. The windows are not insulated and leaky, as is the room door. The people passing by or showers/TVs from other rooms are as loud as if they were in the room itself. We couldn't really sleep through the night for 7 nights because of the noise. The staff seems disinterested. The toilet didn't work and was only repaired within 12 hours after repeated requests. Nevertheless, extremely clean and modern hotel. The location/area seems threatening at first glance, but we never felt unsafe. We wouldn't book again because of the price and the noise. It's about a 9-minute walk to the metro. The F Line takes you quickly and easily to Midtown without having to change trains.

Only one elevator. Rooms were small. Hallways and elevator was small also. Could not get down certain areas with wheel chair. 5 people in elevator was a tight fit. Breakfast was mediocre. Some items good some needed improvement. Overall would not recommend unless your a bit desperate.

Stayed 4 nights in 2 rooms, both with two double beds. Me and my oldest son in one room, my MIL and youngest son in the other room. Rooms were clean, staff were very helpful and friendly, and location s great—very close to Times Square. We had never been to NYC and had a wonderful time. We would definitely stay here again! Other reviewers complain of extra charges and problems with refunds—this is because they booked through a 3rd party site (like this one) and did not read the fine print. All NYC accommodations have a bunch of additional taxes and charges and they are the same no matter which hotel you stay in. The difference is that some hotels advertise the daily rate including an estimate of these charges and some don’t. Additionally, agreements may vary when using a 3rd party site (like this one) vs booking through the hotel’s website. Also, it’s NYC—all accommodations are small and compact. Plus, you’re there to see the city, not hang out in a hotel room all day. Lastly, the hotel doesn’t advertise a continental breakfast and why would they when just out the door are dozens of affordable places to grab a bite.

I booked into the Marriott for 3 days over New Year's Eve. Based on the hotel star rating and the price that I had to pay for that period of time, I was expecting a certain level of service standards. Unfortunately, what I found was that the housekeeping of the hotel seemed to be dysfunctional during that period. I requested at the front desk on New Year's Day at 1pm to have my room made up as we slept in late for the day since we were out late the night before. The front desk confirmed that they would get it sorted. However, when I got back in the evening, no housekeeping was done for my room. Additionally, the general cleanliness level of my hotel level was lacking on the day. At the general lift area, I saw some Cheerios cereal spilled by kids the night before. It was still there on New Year's day evening and not cleaned up. As for the dining options, the hotel mandated a $30 fee that we could convert into food spend. We decided to spend it on the Level 8 Broadway Lounge. We found the food quality inconsistent. On the first day, I ordered a decaf coffee. It was good and the quality was great. On a different day, the decaf coffee was watered down and really bad. I must however commend them for their good handling of the re-entry of guests back into the hotel after midnight. The queue moved fast and they provided water at the entrance to all returning hotel guests. Overall, I would not be booking the Marriott Marquis in New York ever again because of this experience. It was a real let down as the Marriott hotels that I had been to in other parts of the world had much higher standards.

Hotel is located very near Times Square, within walking distance. Room is very small, even for 2 people. My friend and I knocked into each other several times like bananas in pyjamas while trying to navigate across the room. We practically had to jump over our opened suitcases like ninja warriors as there was simply no space.

It was pretty easy to book, find, and to get into the hotel. The front desk person has the room keys ready, so we got to the room in a few seconds. It was clean and quite even the room was located next to the elevator. Me and my friends have relaxed time there.
