Stayed four nights over New Year.
Having read reviews on the website I was sceptical about The Time and my initial concerns were correct - the first impression was that my 9th floor room was extremely small, not just by USA standards but by any standards. It was dark, tired and worn. the sink was falling off thew wall and had a large crack in it and the finish was awful - splodges of paint and an unfinished look about it.
When we complained about the size of the room (Superior Queen) appauling view and broken sink and were told, by the surly receptionist, that they were booked up but to try the next day - which we did and were moved to the 6th floor. The new room, which was a king sized bed, was better although still not a large room. The bed was very comfortable and the Molton Brown bath products in bathrrom were nice although sparse (only 1 shower gel left daily for two occupants!) The mini bar was a rip off and when we got a bottle of wine from it we were told they charged 2 dollars per glass to drink it out of!!! The bar and restaurant are not owened by the management of the hotle and there is no communication between any of them - when we had a G&T in the bar one night the waitress asked us to pay up so she could go home early then charged us 20% service - which we immediately erased! The rip off continued when we left as the hotle charged us 1 dollar per bag to be stored before our flight!
Location is great being so close to Times Square but I would not recommend this hotel, unless the location is of paramount importance or you get a great price.
