Was travelling back to Australia from the Caribbean and decided to have 2 nights in New York on the way home. Travelled with a friend from Canada. Due to a delayed flight into Newark NJ by the time we took a cab we didn't get in until nearly midnight, Our room was on the 4th floor near the elevator and was clean and spacious. We didn't have any problems although we did hear our neighbours once or twice, no big deal though.
Due to the limited time frame we had we really only used the hotel to sleep and as such didn't use any of the hotel facilities. Although we did help ourselves to their little snack bar they have set up next to the lobby (Breakfast room!) I was quite happy with my hot chocolate!
The staff were all friendly to us and the hotel is located on 51st and 8th. it's about a 2 to 3 block walk from Times Square and has lots of dining options around. There is a Chipotle Mexican Grill across the road, a 24 hour diner (cosmic) and of course lots of bars!
May i recommend a visit to the hershey store on the corner of 48th and 7th in times square? Check out the huge chocolate bottles! i also highly recommend a pub/bar called "Heartland brewery" we went to the one at Union Square west on the corner of W 17th, but they also have one in Times Square. The Spearmint Blueberry beer (yes you read right!) is AMAZING and the Romano cheese sticks were great as appetizers!
The hotel is also convenient to the hop on, hop off bus and most new york attractions.
As this was my 3rd trip to New York i feel like i know my way around now and would definitely stay at this hampton again!
