I had a business trip in Manhattan, and being a Hilton Diamond member, but also being on a business trip budget, I chose the Hampton Inn Manhattan Time Square South hotel. I orginally wanted the Times Square North location, because it had better reviews, but the south location was $40 less a night, closer to the train station, so I figured how bad could it be?

Two elevators for 32 floors - ONE WAS OUT OF SERVICE
Tiny hallways
Only two check in/out clerks at the desk - One was working when I checked in
So, only 3 Cons - not bad, right? WRONG. My check in was over 30 minutes since one check in clerk was not at the desk. The line was to the door. The elevator situation, if both are working is an issue. When one was out of service (per the front desk clerk), it can take more than 20 minutes to get to/from your room. And I was lucky - my floor was a high one, so I could sqeeze in to get down to the lobby. The elevator stopped at almost every floor, and many unlucky guests couldnt fit on.
I will NOT stay here again
