About
You walk into a buzzing lobby surrounded by the neon energy of Times Square. The Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan Hotel sits right in the middle of New York's busiest scene, drawing a mixed LGBTQ+ and straight crowd. Rooms on higher floors offer sweeping views of both Times Square and the Hudson River. The hotel has a swimming pool, rare for this neighborhood, and a Sunday brunch that's popular with guests.
Rooms are generously sized for New York, with large TVs and solid bathrooms. Housekeeping is consistently praised. But check-in can be rocky — some guests report room mix-ups that take a supervisor to resolve. The hotel charges extra for many amenities, so review your folio carefully. If you want another option nearby, the New York Marriott Marquis is a short walk away. Best for a short stay when you want to be steps from Broadway and the lights of Times Square.
Located in the heart of Times Square, this hotel puts you steps from Broadway theaters, restaurants, and iconic neon signs. The area is always buzzing with tourists and energy.

“great location, that's it”
If you enjoy being near Times Square, the location is great. However, don't expect full doorman-level service. There were some issues with our room at check-in. We tried asking the front desk staff, but they weren't much help in resolving the problem. We had to wait until the next day and only after speaking with a supervisor did we get the room we had originally booked. Housekeeping was excellent—fresh towels daily and the housekeeper was likely the friendliest person working there. The breakfast buffet was average. I probably wouldn't stay here again and would advise against staying right in Times Square if your visit to the city is longer than two nights.

“Great Hotel If You Don't Mind The Hidden Fees”
We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Times Square back in February 2011 and overall really enjoyed it. Our room was on the 24th floor with a fantastic view of Times Square and the Hudson River. The room itself was quite spacious, with a large bed, a big TV, and a nice bathroom. The hotel is centrally located, making it a short cab ride to places like Central Park, Chelsea, or even the Financial District. The only downside was the hidden fees and extremely high prices for extra amenities. If you decide to stay here, be sure to review your bill for any items you might have assumed were included.
