Motto by Hilton New York City Times Square

The hotel's location is superb, just a stone's throw from Times Square. The rooms are incredibly soundproofed, and the air conditioning is quiet, so I had a great night's sleep. There's a supermarket right across the street that sells hot self-serve food and salads by weight, at $14 per pound.

Located in the most bustling part of New York City, it's incredibly convenient for getting around. There are many theaters, restaurants, shopping malls, supermarkets, and convenience stores nearby. For this prime location, it's a great value-for-money four-star hotel. This is already my third stay here.

The room was generally tidy, just a bit small, a stark contrast to the Tempo I stayed at in Washington. However, the price is understandable given its location near Times Square. There's a large supermarket right across from the hotel that has everything, and their lunch options are really good. Plus, the hotel gives you a $10 voucher daily to use at the bar or restaurant, which you can use for breakfast or a drink. Just be aware that there's an additional tax of about $35 per day.

The hotel's location is a bit compact, but that's understandable given its prime spot right in the heart of Times Square – you step right out into it! The hotel's cleanliness was excellent, and they even offered complimentary snacks upon check-in, which was a unique and pleasant surprise among all the hotels I've stayed at in the US. It would be even better if they could provide a coffee machine and cups.
