Stayed at NY Times square Hilton March 2007 with wife and 6 yr old daughter. Had a great time. (We have stayed in hotels all over the world)
Excellent location within walking distance of all major Broadway shows. Lion King was 2 blocks away. The hotel opens out onto 42nd Street on Times square. Lion King finished at 11PM, we enjoyed the walk back, less than 5 min. Madam Tussauds is next door.
Nice modern decor, superfast nonstop elevators, no waiting time to go up or down. No signs of neglect or need for updating in the near future.
Breakfast buffet (scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, roast potatoes were among the hot items) was $ 20 per person, smallish serving area. Applebees is adjacent, serve full BF for $ 8. McDonald's is right next door.
They offered us 40th floor, which was a treat, great views of Manhattan with Hudson river, Empire state building etc.
Parking (SUV) cost $ 52 per day, but you have to come up to the 41st street entrance to hand your vehicle over, note there is no drive up lobby due to the hotel's location. We tried the 42nd street entrance first which is what our GPS unit told us, and got confused because you barely see a sign that says "Hilton", let alone a drive up lobby.
Room was excellent, we chose the larger 360 sq ft room witb 2 double beds, for $ 260 ($ 100 lower than Times Square Marriott's comparable room), and was spacious. Pillows and bed were top class. Bathroom was large enough and well equipped. Big windows and views make it unforgettable, especially if you get the top floors.
Will definitely stay there again.
